Dendrite morphogenesis in Caenorhabditis elegans represents a pivotal process in neural development, orchestrating the formation of complex dendritic trees that underpin neuronal connectivity. This ...

A review article by the research team supervised by assistant professor Pengfei Song, with Hang Yuan, an undergraduate student as the first author at Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University (XJTLU), ...

The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans has long served as a pivotal model in neuroscience and genetics, allowing researchers to unravel the interconnections between neural circuitry and genetic ...

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 ...

A staple in laboratories worldwide, C. elegans is “an experimental dream,” said one scientist. A staple in laboratories worldwide, C. elegans is “an experimental dream,” said one scientist.

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 ...

This study highlights a novel mechanism of gut-to-brain communication crucial for lipid metabolism. In a recent study published in Nature Communications, researchers identify an endogenous insulin ...
