Caenorhabditis elegans has long been established as a model organism for investigating the molecular determinants of organogenesis and cell fate specification. Vulval development exemplifies a highly ...

Researchers have developed a new imaging technique to observe active gene expression in real time. They found that four molecules work together to control the timing of each stage of the C. elegans ...

The long-term objective of my research is to contribute to our understanding of how cell fates are specified during development. The free-living soil nematode, Caenorhabditis elegans, is an excellent ...

The centrosome serves as the microtubule-organizing center and plays a critical role in cell division. Centrosomal RNAs (cnRNAs) have been reported to enable precise spatiotemporal control of gene ...

At first glimpse, C. elegans and people appear to have nothing in common. The nematode worm, whose full scientific name is Caenorhabditis elegans, measures about one millimeter in length, ...

This valuable study identifies a novel regulator of stress-induced gene quiescence in C. elegans: the multi-Zinc-finger protein ZNF-236. The work provides evidence for an active mechanism that ...
