Transgenerational diapause as an avoidance strategy against bacterial pathogens in caenorhabditis elegans
(American Society Microbiology, 2017)
The dynamic response of organisms exposed to environmental pathogens determines their survival or demise, and the outcome of this interaction depends on the host's susceptibility and pathogen-dependent virulence factors. ...
Prion function and pathophysiology in non-mammalian models
(Bentham Science Publishers B.V., 2017)
© 2017 Bentham Science Publishers. More than thirty years have passed since the discovery of the prion protein (PrP) and its causative role in transmissible spongiform encephalopathy. Since a combination of both gain- and ...
Interspecies effectors of a transgenerational memory of bacterial infection in Caenorhabditis elegans
(CellPress, 2022)
The inheritance of memory is an adaptive trait. Microbes challenge the immunity
of organisms and trigger behavioral adaptations that can be inherited, but how
bacteria produce inheritance of a trait is unknown. We use ...
Dissection of K+ currents in Caenorhabditis elegans muscle cells by genetics and RNA interference
(NATL ACAD SCIENCES, 2003-11-25)
GFP-promoter experiments have previously shown that at least nine genes encoding potassium channel subunits are expressed in Caenorhabditis elegans muscle. By using genetic, RNA interference, and physiological techniques ...
Emerging roles of the unfolded protein response (UPR) in the nervous system: A link with adaptive behavior to environmental stress?
(Elsevier, 2020)
Stressors elicit a neuroendocrine response leading to increased levels of glucocorticoids, allowing the organism to adapt to environmental changes and maintain homeostasis. Glucocorticoids have a broad effect in the body, ...
Peptide multifunctionalized gold nanorods decrease toxicity of β-amyloid peptide in a Caenorhabditis elegans model of Alzheimer's disease
(Elsevier Inc., 2017)
© 2017 Elsevier Inc. The properties of nanometric materials make nanotechnology a promising platform for tackling problems of contemporary medicine. In this work, gold nanorods were synthetized and stabilized with polyethylene ...

(Elsevier, 2017)
The properties of nanometric materials make nanotechnology a promising platform for tackling problems of contemporary medicine. In this work, gold nanorods were synthetized and stabilized with polyethylene glycols and ...
Interspecies RNA interactome of pathogen and host in a heritable defensive strategy
(Frontiers Media, 2021)
Communication with bacteria deeply impacts the life history traits of their hosts.
Through specific molecules and metabolites, bacteria can promote short- and longterm
phenotypic and behavioral changes in the nematode ...
Bacterially produced metabolites protect C. elegans neurons from degeneration
(Public Library of Science, 2020)
Caenorhabditis elegans and its cognate bacterial diet comprise a reliable, widespread model to study diet and microbiota effects on host physiology. Nonetheless, how diet influences the rate at which neurons die remains ...
