The article focuses on the Sibelius Chronoscreen platform used for epigenetic selection. Topics discussed include caenorhabditis elegans as model organisms used for the studying the human conditions and biological regulations, the examples and results of phenotypic screening such as resveratrol for anti-ageing improvement of C. elegans, and the development of new library of neutraceutical platform.

The article focuses on the study that shows the characteristics of gene silencing by RNA interference (RNAi) in Caenorhabditis elegans. Small interfering RNA is targeted into the cell and the specific silencing effect measure using an appropriate assay. An attractive method for RNAi targeting is to couple with viral systems. Viral vectors incorporate the short-hairpin RNA sequence along with packaging signal.

Explores various developments in the field of neuroscience as of December 1999. Advances in magnetic resonance imaging and positron emission tomography; Sequencing of the genome of Caenorhabditis elegans; Contributions of the Human Genome Project; Contributions of chemists to neuroscience.

The article reports watching of heme dynamics in Caenorhabditis elegans worms in real time using transient absorption (TA) microscopy. Topics discussed includes using laser beams to measure chromophore, lysosomal-related organelles, and noninvasive method to differentiate various states of heme, which includes oxidised and reduced.

The article discusses how humans share several protein-coding genes with roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans and discusses how spliceosome cuts out unnecessary sequences of transcribed RNA called introns and joins the remaining section which forms messenger RNA.

The article reports on the result of the study which provides a comparison on the effectiveness of Thermo Scientific LTQ Velos ion trap and Agilent 6520 quadrupole time-of-flight (Q-TOF) mass spectrometers in identifying proteins of Caenorhabditis (C) elegans. The study focused on the spectrometers' robustness, mass spectrometry performance and comfort of use. It was found that the LTQ Velos was able to identify increased C elegans peptides and proteins compared to the Q-TOF.

The article focuses on a study conducted by researcher Michael Ristow and colleagues which found that life span in the worm Caenorhabditis elegans and in aging mice is extended due to glucosamine that appeared in a 2014 issue of the periodical "Nature Communications."

The article informs that roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans defends itself against bacterial toxins hydroxyphenazine and indole by glycosylating the toxins to form nontoxic derivatives.

The article reports that incorporating unnatural amino acids into the nematode worm, Caenorhabditis elegans may help in dissecting the biochemistry of living things, referencing a study published in the "Journal of the American Chemical Society."

The article reports that photoswitchable materials can be used to design easy-to-deliver drugs. This was according to a study conducted by Neil R. Branda and colleagues at Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, British Columbia. The study used a bis dithienylethene compound to paralyze the worm Caenorhabditis elegans. Moreover, the researchers note that the visible light on the worms reverses the paralysis caused by the being-closed photoisomer disrupting the metabolic electronic pathway.

The article presents a research on reactive oxygen specie (ROS) target ion channels by Federico Sesti and Shi-Qing Cai of University of Medicine & Dentistry of New Jersey in Newark, New Jersey. It reveals the use of the worm Caenorhabditis elegans to expose that progressive neurodegeneration and loss of chemotaxis ability is induced by oxidative modification of KVS-1-potassium ion channels. It found out that diminished oxidation preserves neural function and chemotaxis ability.

The article reports on the results of a study by Harvard Medical School molecular biologists led by Gary Ruvkun and colleagues on the discovery of a link between reproduction, fat metabolism and aging in the much-studied worm Caenorhabditis elegans. They reported that the worm's reproductive stem cells from which eggs or sperm are derived send biochemical signals to intestinal cells to increase the storage of fat.

The article reports that Young-Tae Chang of New York University and his colleagues have discovered a small molecule that successfully treats a diabetes-like condition in worms. The team used a mutant form of Caenorhabditis elegans as a worm model of diabetes. They have also confirmed that the enzyme glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrigenase (GAPDH) is the agent's molecular target.

The article focuses on the study that describes the use of computational analyses to predict a genome-wide map of microRNA targets in the nematode worm Caenorhabditis elegans in the U.S. The research team examined the function of the genome of C. elegans in mapping the miRNA targets. Furthermore, miRNA's can control groups of genes that work in a specific biological process.

Reports on the discovery of the missing genes of Caenorhabditis elegans previously missed by genome analysis methods. Results of extending the original computer program to the genome of C. elegans; Total number of genes identified using the novel method; Propositions from researchers that amplifying and sequencing the predicted genes from a more accurate gene-prediction program would provide a more complete annotation.

Presents an abstract of the article `Using the Caenorhabditis Elegans Soil Toxicity Test to Identify Factors Affecting Toxicity of Four Metal Ions in Intact Soil,' by S.G. Donkin and B. Dusenberry published in the `Water, Air, and Soil pollution' periodical.
