Behavioural and Metabolic Characterization of NPR-9 and AIB Signaling Dynamics in Caenorhabditis Elegans
Caenorhabditis elegans inhabit heterogeneous environments and are often faced with diverse environmental cues. The nematode must modulate behavioural and physiological mechanisms to avoid aversive environmental conditions ... -
Exploring the Functional Significance of the Caenorhabditis elegans VAB-1 Eph RTK and DAF-18/PTEN Tumour Suppressor Interaction
(2009-11-18)The Caenorhabditis elegans Eph RTK, VAB-1, has known roles in neuronal and epidermal morphogenesis as well as oocyte maturation through interaction with its ephrin ligands. In humans, Eph receptors are involved in nervous ... -
Tissue Specific Functions and Regulation of DAF-18/PTEN
(2015-01-15)The insulin signaling antagonist daf-18/PTEN is known to play various roles in the response of C. elegans to starvation. While daf-18’s roles in promoting dauer formation are well understood, the extent of its roles in L1 ... -
Utilizing Caenorhabditis elegans as a novel platform to model human RET receptor function
(2015-02-17)In this study, we report a novel use of Caenorhabditis elegans as a platform to model the function of human RET isoforms, RET9 and RET51. C. elegans does not encompass an orthologue of RET. Thus, we ectopically expressed ...
