Caffeine is a widely used psychoactive substance. Studies have shown that caffeine may play a protective role in aging-associated disorders. However, the mechanisms by which caffeine modulates aging are not yet clear. In this study, we have shown that caffeine increases Caenorhabditis elegans lifespan, delays its larval development, reduces reproduction and body length. These phenotypes were pa...

A field study was conducted in date palm orchards Salah al-Din Governorate during the period from 1/10/ 2020 to 30/10/2021 survey species of borers and estimate their population density relative presence period. The results showed diagnosis three belonging Coleoptera family Scarabaeidae, which included Oryctes elegans, Pentodon sp Tanyproctus sp. males females for (53.00, 47.00%), (51.98, 48.02...

Scientific research experiences are beneficial to students allowing them gain laboratory and problem-solving skills, as well foundational skills in a team-based setting. We designed module provide guided experience stimulate curiosity, introduce experimental techniques, with needed for higher levels of inquiry. In this module, learn about RNA interference (RNAi) codon optimization using the org...

BACKGROUND: Cocoa, a significant contributor of polyphenols to the western diet has been shown be effective against Aβ induced toxicity in vitro. However, effects long-term cocoa supplementation on behavioural deficits, particularly short-term memory loss observed human AD are not well defined. OBJECTIVE: This study characterized phenotype pan-neuronal expressing C. elegans strain and investiga...

At present, more and people are suffering from various diseases it is particularly important to find a suitable biological model evaluate the prevention treatment effects of drugs active ingredients on diseases. In all models, Caenorhabditis elegans kind organism that easy observe cultivate, has clear genetic background high degree signal pathway conservation with humans. A variety such as poly...

We have synthesized Eu-doped NaBi(MoO 4 ) 2 nanoparticles functionalized with PAA whose properties make them excellent multimodal contrast agents for X-ray computed tomography and luminescent bioimaging, as illustrated using a C. Elegans animal model.

We exploit the reduced space of C. elegans postures to develop a novel tracking algorithm which captures both simple shapes and also self-occluding coils, an important, yet unexplored, component of 2D worm behavior. We apply our algorithm to show that visually complex, coiled sequences are a superposition of two simpler patterns: the body wave dynamics and a head-curvature pulse. We demonstrate...

To determine whether a C. elegans bioassay could predict mammalian developmental activity, we selected diverse compounds known and known not to elicit such activity and measured their effect on C. elegans egg viability. 89% of compounds that reduced C. elegans egg viability also had mammalian developmental activity. Conversely only 25% of compounds found not to reduce egg viability in C. elegan...

Only two species of Didelphidae are currently recognized in Chile, the sister species Thylamys elegans, endemic of Mediterranean ecorregion and Thylamys pallidior, the inhabitant of the Puna and desert canyons. Three subspecies have been described for T. elegans: T. e. elegans, T. e. coquimbensis and T. e. soricinus. However, a recent study based on morphological analyses, synonymized T. elegan...
