Some patients remain unwell for months after “recovering” from acute COVID-19. They
develop persistent fatigue, cognitive problems, headaches, disrupted sleep, myalgias and …

A little over 50 years ago, Sydney Brenner had the foresight to develop the nematode (round
worm) Caenorhabditis elegans as a genetic model for understanding questions of …

We have produced gene expression profiles of all 302 neurons of the C. elegans nervous
system that match the single-cell resolution of its anatomy and wiring diagram. Our results …

Chemosensory neurons translate perception of external chemical cues, including odorants,
tastants, and pheromones, into information that drives attraction or avoidance motor …

Olfaction is a versatile and sensitive mechanism for detecting volatile odorants. We show
that the nematode C. elegans detects many volatile chemicals, which can be attractants …

Cap'n'collar (Cnc) transcription factors are conserved in metazoans and have important
developmental and homeostatic functions. The vertebrate Nrf1, Nrf2, and Nrf3; the …

▪ Abstract An expanding family of BCL-2 related proteins share homology, clustered within
four conserved regions, namely BCL-2 homology (BH1-4) domains, which control the ability …

C. elegans has a highly developed chemosensory system that enables it to detect a wide
variety of volatile (olfactory) and water-soluble (gustatory) cues associated with food …

Caenorhabditis elegans explores its environment by interrupting its forward movement with
occasional turns and reversals. Turns and reversals occur at stable frequencies but irregular …

The functions of the 11 classes of exposed chemosensory neurons of C. elegans were
tested by killing cells with a laser microbeam. One pair of neurons, the ASE neurons, is …
