The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans as a model for aging research
The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is a key model system for experimental research on the genetic regulation of aging, and has paved the way towards many important discoveries in this field. Importantly, in the course of its short lifespan of ∼3 weeks, C. elegans displays many phenotypic, behavioral, and molecular changes that are widely shared among metazoans as they age. In this review, we summarize how aging research takes advantage of C. elegans’ biology, and we describe the experimental toolbox available to study worm aging.
期刊介绍:
Drug Discovery Today: Disease Models discusses the non-human experimental models through which inference is drawn regarding the molecular aetiology and pathogenesis of human disease. It provides critical analysis and evaluation of which models can genuinely inform the research community about the direct process of human disease, those which may have value in basic toxicology, and those which are simply designed for effective expression and raw characterisation.
