Princeton University researchers report in the journal eLife two separate causes of early death in males of the roundworm species Caenorhabditis elegans — mating and pheromones released by other males ...

A new working model explains the molecular mechanism by which the protein anillin controls asymmetry during cell division, ...

The throat of the roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans might seem like an odd place for exploring the complexity of life's mechanisms, until one realizes how much information has been collected on ...

The microscopic roundworm, Caenorhabditis elegans, might be Earth's secret superhero. These tube-shaped creatures, which thrive on rotting vegetation, may seem unremarkable at first glance.

Learn how this species of worm detects death, resulting in a range of behavioral and physiological responses.

Classified as a nematode, the roundworm caenorhabditis elegans (or c. elegans to its friends) might seem like just another tiny thing to someone who’s not looking at the current research around ...

The soil roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans has just 959 cells and a body that is mostly gut and reproductive organs. Yet its reproduction is similar enough to ours that scientists like Francis McNally ...

Caenorhabditis elegans, one millimeter long ... soil worm’s outsize role in scientific discovery. The one-millimeter nematode has helped scientists understand how healthy cells are instructed ...

At the same time, the research group of Teymuras Kurzchalia at the MPI-CBG was already addressing the question of how larval stages of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans survive extreme conditions.

Those mutants that didn't develop toxocysts on their hyphae were no longer toxic to the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. As for why oyster mushrooms evolved such an unusual mechanism for killing ...
