The connectomes trace 385 neurons in the male worm and 302 neurons in the hermaphrodite worm.

Two research groups demonstrate that in Caenorhabditis elegans, behavioral traits can be passed down through the germline to future generations, even though they aren’t hard-wired.

One of the foremost molecular biologists of the 20th century, the Nobel laureate established C. elegans as a model organism, mapping its genes and development.

The protein RhoA coordinates pulses of movement in Caenorhabditis elegans cells.

A transgenic approach allows researchers to collect the organelles from specific cells in nematodes with unprecedented efficiency.

Adding a fusion gene to certain mitochondria in C. elegans enables researchers to collect and analyze them.

Unsuccessful attempts to reproduce the results of a 2015 study reporting that C. elegans orient themselves by Earth’s magnetic field spark debate among researchers.

The biologist earned a Nobel Prize in 2002 for his work on C. elegans.

Maintaining dynamic connections among the body’s mitochondria is required for the health and life-extending benefits of low-calorie diets for nematodes.
