In other words, the same chemical that puts the worm to sleep also helps wake it up again, simply by targeting different ...

Researchers studying nematode worms show that natural sleep and anesthesia both stop movement, but through very different ...

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

A new study published in Physical Review Letters has introduced a new form of the classic Ising model that, by incorporating ...

A new discovery provides a unique example of sexual dimorphism in the structure of a single neuron, which is linked to ...

"In this study, we used the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, which is only one millimeter long and has a lifespan of only two weeks. The nematodes exhibit a variety of behaviors with their 302 ...

This pioneering discovery was made using the roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans. This 1-mm long, slender, and transparent nematode has been the star of many pathbreaking discoveries in biology ...

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 ...

In a recent study published in Nature Communications, researchers identify an endogenous insulin antagonist that modulates fat loss in the roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans. How is information ...

The new study focuses on critical snippets of RNA in the tiny, transparent roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans). The study provides a detailed map of the 3'UTR regions of RNA in C.

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.
