The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans has been a model for studying infection since the
early 2000s and many major discoveries have been made regarding its innate immune …

Most animals and plants have associated microorganisms, collectively referred to as their
microbiomes, which can provide essential functions. Given their importance, host-associated …

The genome of Caenorhabditis elegans encodes 284 nuclear hormone receptor, which
perform diverse functions in development and physiology. One of the best characterized of …

The Caenorhabditis elegans natural microbiota was described only recently. Thus, our
understanding of its effects on nematode physiology is still in its infancy. We previously …

The Caenorhabditis elegans natural microbiota isolates Pseudomonas lurida MYb11 and
Pseudomonas fluorescens MYb115 protect the host against pathogens through distinct …

Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) nematodes are a powerful model organism for diverse
biological and biomedical studies, benefiting from their genetic similarities to humans, small …

Citrus sinensis by-products are a promising source of neuroprotective molecules. In this
study, a pressurized liquid extract of Citrus by-products (PLE100) has been extensively …

Orsay virus (OrV) is the only known natural virus affecting Caenorhabditis elegans, with
minimal impact on the animal's fitness due to its robust innate immune response. This study …

The developmental fate of cells is regulated by intrinsic factors and the extracellular
environment. The extracellular matrix (matrisome) delivers chemical and mechanical cues …

Hemocyanin is an important non-specific innate immune defense molecule with
phenoloxidase, antiviral, antibacterial, hemolytic, and antitumor activities. To better …
