When scientists win the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, they typically thank family and colleagues, maybe their ...

Roundworms harbor viruses, which could be responsible for these parasites' painful symptoms in humans, scientists theorize.

They focused on the nematode worm Caenorhabditis elegans, a model organism widely used in biological research. The findings help predict and understand animal behavior, with potential applications ...

In experiments, the olfactory nervous system of roundworms was able to detect acetylpropionyl, and when it did, it triggered ...

As roundworms need to consume bacteria for survival, it's essential for them to differentiate between nutritious and harmful ...

"In an inspired 'lightbulb' moment, he decided to use the same algorithm to search parasitic nematode transcriptomes," meaning readouts of all the RNA in the worms. While mining publicly available ...

They focused on the nematode worm Caenorhabditis elegans, a model organism widely used in biological research. "Unlike simple physical systems like a pendulum or a bead on a spring, animal ...

The prize was awarded to Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun for their discovery of microRNA, which helps determine how cells ...

Classified as a nematode, the roundworm caenorhabditis elegans ... elegans nemotodes, or round worms, is ... [+] prepared for examination by project scientists May 1, 2003 at the Kennedy Space ...

Studying the tiny nematode worm C "elegans", Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun independently discovered that small sequences of RNA were essential in determining whether certain genes are turned into ...
