Evolution of the C-Type Lectin-Like Receptor Genes of the DECTIN-1 Cluster in the NK Gene Complex by Susanne Sattler, Hormas Ghadially, Erhard Hofer

“…Recent developments in sequencing and the availability of comprehensive sequence data comprising many species showed that the receptors of the DECTIN-1 cluster are not only homologous to each other but also highly conserved between species. Even in Caenorhabditis elegans, genes displaying homology to the mammalian C-type lectin-like receptors have been detected. …”

Nematicidal Action of Microencapsulated Essential Oil of Flesh Fingered Citron by Xixi Piao, Lirong Zhang, Songxing Zhang, Fengping Yi

“…The loading capacity was 32.67%, and the embedding yield was 96.24%, assuming that a core-to-wall quality ratio of 1 : 6 is optimal for the carrier. Using Caenorhabditis elegans as a model organism, we explored the toxicity of (1) FFC EO microcapsules (MCs) and (2) four key compounds of the EOs. …”

Finding the Correct Partner: The Meiotic Courtship by Tomás Naranjo

“…Other mechanisms leading to homology search are recombination-independent and require specialized pairing sites. In the worm Caenorhabditis elegans, each chromosome carries a pairing center consisting of a chromosome-specific DNA-protein complex, and in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, the sme2 locus encodes a meiosis-specific non-coding RNA that mediates on homologous recognition. …”

Firing propagation in empirical cognitive networks of human brain by Dehua Chen, Ruohua Gao, Zhiyin Yang, Siyu Huo, Zonghua Liu

“…So far, in the context of signal propagation, some progress has been achieved on complex networks, especially on the Caenorhabditis elegans network, but little attention has been paid to the empirical cognitive networks of the human brain, which are the networks responsible for cognitive tasks. …”

MIKRORNA – MOLEKUL VERSATIL DALAM KANSER TIROID by Azliana Mohamad Yusof, Nurul-Syakima Ab Mutalib

“…MikroRNA tidak diendahkan oleh saintis beberapa dekad sebelum ini kerana ia tidak mengekod sebarang protein lantas dianggap jujukan sampah (junk sequence), namun sejak penemuan lin-4 yang mengawalselia perkembangan larva Caenorhabditis elegans, semakin banyak kajian bertumpu ke arah molekul ini. …”

Mutations of the Electron Transport Chain Affect Lifespan and ROS Levels in <i>C. elegans</i> by Fanni Ősz, Aamir Nazir, Krisztina Takács-Vellai, Zsolt Farkas

“…This review explores the structure and function of the ETC in the context of its role in mtROS generation and regulation, emphasizing its dual roles in cellular damage and signaling. Using <i>Caenorhabditis elegans</i> as a model organism, we discuss how ETC mutations manifest as developmental abnormalities, lifespan alterations, and changes in mtROS levels. …”

A distant TANGO1 family member promotes vitellogenin export from the ER in C. elegans by Jimmy H. Mo, Chao Zhai, Kwangsek Jung, Yan Li, Yonghong Yan, Meng-Qiu Dong, Ho Yi Mak

“…Summary: Vitellogenin is thought to share a common ancestor with human apolipoprotein B (ApoB) for systemic lipid transport. In Caenorhabditis elegans, although a general route for inter-tissue vitellogenin transport has been described, the full mechanism that underlies its intracellular trafficking within the intestine remains obscure. …”

Increased RTN3 phenocopies nonalcoholic fatty liver disease by inhibiting the AMPK–IDH2 pathway by Hao Huang, Shuai Guo, Ya‐Qin Chen, Yu‐Xing Liu, Jie‐Yuan Jin, Yun Liang, Liang‐Liang Fan, Rong Xiang

“…We further showed this in primary hepatocytes, the L02 cell line, and the Caenorhabditis elegans strain. Mechanistically, RTN3 regulated these events through its interactions with glucose‐regulated protein 78 (GRP78), which further inhibited the adenosine 5 monophosphate‐activated protein kinase (AMPK)–isocitrate dehydrogenase 2 (IDH2) pathway. …”
