The researchers studied the drug's mechanism in the tiny roundworm
Caenorhabditis elegans, a species which has a lifespan of only three weeks, and found that as the worms age, they get smaller, wrinkle up and become less mobile.

Abstract.- This study describes a new approach for assessing toxic response behaviour of
Caenorhabditis elegans by automatic recognition of line movement through an image-processing system.
Summary: TEHRAN (FNA)- An enzyme-blocking molecule can extend the lifespan of
Caenorhabditis elegans roundworms by as much as 45 percent, largely by modulating a cannabinoid biological pathway, according to a new study.
Kinetics of progression of pathogenicity of
Caenorhabditis elegans in response to Bacillus thuringiensis.
"Our study reveals how minocycline prevents protein aggregation and lays the foundation for drug-development efforts aimed at optimising this already-approved drug for a range of neurodegenerative diseases." For the study, reported in the journal eLife, the team first tested 21 different molecules known to extend lifespan in young and old

Summary: Swindon [United Kingdom], September 12 (ANI): The United Kingdom Space Agency is sending hundreds of
Caenorhabditis elegans to the International Space Station (ISS) later this year as part of its Molecular Muscle Experiment.
This year's review presents 26 articles on such aspects of the neurosciences as the basic and translational neuroscience of childhood-onset dystonia: a control-theory perspective, evolutionary changes in transcriptional regulation: insights into human behavior and neurological conditions, long-term plasticity of neurotransmitter release: emerging mechanisms and contributions to brain function and disease, neural circuits of sexual behavior in
Caenorhabditis elegans, and a guide to emerging technologies for large-scale and whole-brain optical imaging of neuronal activity.
