The free‐living nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is distributed globally and found in many
varied habitats. However, in comparison to our understanding of the genetics of the species …

Genetic approaches (eg mutation, RNA interference) in model organisms, particularly the
nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, have yielded a wealth of information on cellular …

Several investigators have generated long-lived nematode worms (Caenorhabditis elegans)
in the past decade by mutation of genes in the organism in order to study the genetics of …

Age-related degenerative changes in the reproductive system are an important aspect of
aging, because reproductive success is the major determinant of evolutionary fitness …

The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is a powerful model organism for studying cell
development, apoptosis, neuronal circuits, and aging. The isolate N2 is recognized by the C …

C aenorhabditis elegans is a leading model organism for studying the basic mechanisms of
aging. Progress has been limited, however, by the lack of an automated system for …

Caenorhabditis elegans is an excellent experimental system for the genetic dissection of
complex processes such as development, cell death, and aging. 1 This organism may now …

Many animal species exhibit sex differences in aging. In the nematode Caenorhabditis
elegans, under conditions that minimize mortality, males are the longer‐lived sex. In a …

Dietary restriction (DR) interventions have demonstrated their efficacy in extending lifespan;
however, the association between lifespan extension and health span remains unclear. This …
