Deciphering the genetic regulators of cuticle barrier function and longevity in Caenorhabditis elegans
Ever since Sydney Brenner introduced Caenorhabditis elegans in the early 60s as a model system, this worm has contributed to many ground-breaking discoveries in science. It has served as an excellent model to study animal ... -
Genetic and environmental determinants of swarming in Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Swarming, in bacteria, is a type of group translocation phenomenon observed in several flagellated species characterized by their ability to spread across solid or semi-solid surfaces rapidly – often with a distinct colony ... -
Immune-metabolic response of Caenorhabditis elegans to Enterococcus faecalis
Immune response to pathogens is energetically expensive to the host. In this study, we show that Caenorhabditis elegans exposed for 8 hours to pathogenic Gram-positive bacteria, Enterococcus faecalis and Staphylococcus ... -
Pathogen-derived volatiles modulate flight or fight response in Caenorhabditis elegans
In nature, the interaction between two organisms largely relies on their ability to sense and respond to each other, which involves many specific chemicals and signaling pathways. Animals have evolved mechanisms to detect ...
