The Nematode C. elegans, aka the worm, is a powerful system to approach ... fate differentiaiton creates small but reproducible differences in division timing among cells that would otherwise divide ...

Qinghua Zhou of the University of Colorado and colleagues examined the C. elegans cells using electron microscopy and tomography, finding that the paternal mitochondria started to self-destruct even ...

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 ...

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 ...
