Perhaps you’ve read in a biology textbook that humans have the same number of genes as C. elegans, a worm used in scientific research. Perhaps you’d also like to believe that humans are more complex ...

A research team led by Professor Kim Kyuhyung at the Department of Brain Sciences, DGIST, has discovered a new principle that regulates how food moves through the digestive tract and is swallowed.

"In C. elegans, TEBP-1 and TEBP-2 protect the chromosome ends." Now, these proteins, both in mammals and in C. elegans, need ...

New brain-inspired hardware, architectures and algorithms could lead to more efficient, more capable forms of AI.

Imagine a world where worms can hear. While it may sound like science fiction, researchers at the University of Michigan have ...

The nematodes exhibit a variety of behaviors with their 302 neurons," Noma said. "C. elegans shares many genes and mechanisms with humans. So, we thought that the cause of the decline in brain ...

Nematodes — a class of worms that feed on smaller micro-organisms — have been the model of success for several Nobel Prize ...

Another advantage of using C. elegans is that these worms have a simple physiology and easily manipulated genes. Later research has revealed even more about daf-2. The gene is now known to ...

This study presents useful findings on the differences between male and hermaphrodite C. elegans connectomes and how they may result in changes in locomotory behavioural outputs. However, the study ...

Quincy High School senior Anshu Podaralla uses a fluorescent light to spur more movement of her nematode worms then studies ...

This study investigates the auditory sensation in the nematode C. elegans, demonstrating that these worms are capable of sensing and responding to ...
