Perhaps you’d also like to believe that humans are more complex than a worm that is used precisely for its simplicity. For ...

A protein derived from the Heligmosomoides polygyrus ... which naturally infests the intestines of rodents. These worms have already proven valuable in understanding human worm infections.

When researchers removed the SID-1 protein, they observed that the worms unexpectedly became better at passing changes in gene expression to their offspring. In fact, these changes persisted for over ...

UMD researchers have discovered key mechanisms in gene regulation that could improve the design of RNA-based medicines.

In worms and flies, the gene codes for a receptor protein that is activated by an "insulin-like" growth factor. This signaling pathway is analogous to the mammalian insulin pathway.

A study aiming to identify fluorescent bioactive compounds in the coelomic fluid of earthworms, as well as to investigate their structural and functional characteristics for possible use in biomedical ...
