We will continue to study C. elegans to determine how to reduce the hyperactivation of neurons to improve brain function. We believe this will help us understand the basis of aging in brain function." ...

A rice wine native to the Philippines has grabbed the attention of researchers looking into new, natural ways to slow ...

The aging of the brain has intrigued scientists for decades. A recent study reveals that neuronal hyperactivity, rather than its decline, may be the cause of age-related cognitive deterioration. C.

We use the short-lived model organism C. elegans, which shares many aging traits, including deficits in learning and memory, with humans to study this problem. The lab uses an interdisciplinary ...

The C. elegans worm is a favorite for studies ... be targeted in future attempts to improve lifespan and slow down aging. "We found that the lifespan-extending effects of rilmenidine were ...

A young C. elegans adult glowing green where a protein ... shortens the animal’s entire lifespan and accelerates its aging.

Scientists built a microfluidic lab-on-a-chip device that accelerates compound screens and phenotype analyses in C. elegans models of reproductive aging. Deanna earned their PhD in cellular biology ...
