The study of germline stem cells in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) provides valuable insights into the mechanisms of stem cell regulation and differentiation. C. elegans serves ...

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 ...

The paper A.K. Knutson et al., “Reevaluation of whether a soma–to–germ-line transformation extends lifespan in Caenorhabditis elegans,” PNAS, 113:3591-96, 2016. Oldies Germline cells are considered ...

High-resolution images of C. elegans germline mitochondria are arranged in a pattern resembling a flower pistil, representing the researchers’ artistic interpretation of a new research ...

elegans and plants have uncovered the important ... are beginning to reveal how Piwi-like proteins may be implicated in germline maintenance by regulating chromosomal states of the stem-cell ...

Using this pipeline, my ongoing projects aim to elucidate how the DREAM complex forms and functions on chromatin, what transcription factors drive the soma-to-germline transition when DREAM function ...

The authors summarize: "Here, examining the female germline in the nematode C. elegans, this study found that a level of ...
