The study of germline stem cells in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) provides valuable insights into the mechanisms of stem cell regulation and differentiation. C. elegans serves ...

Take two The findings piqued the curiosity of C. elegans researcher and P-granule expert Susan Strome of the University of California, Santa Cruz. Interested in performing related research, she and ...

probably because neurons and other mature cells revert to immature germline cells, which have a heightened sensitivity to RNAi. Sieburth and colleagues used these mutant forms of C. elegans to ...

Using this pipeline, my ongoing projects aim to elucidate how the DREAM complex forms and functions on chromatin, what transcription factors drive the soma-to-germline transition when DREAM function ...

To dig deeper, the team used a C. elegans strain carrying a fluorescent tag linked to an oxidative stress reporter. When they analyzed germline cells, the team observed an increase in fluorescence, a ...

In this new study, the research team has found a way around such problems, and they have measured the force of the muscles inside the digestive tract of C. elegans. The work built on prior ...
