22. Spatio-temporal modeling of morphology and gene-expressions during C.elegans embryogenesis using a new imaging framework
Abstract : Many aspects of ontogenesis, the process whereby an organism develops from the fertilized egg to a grown adult, are still poorly understood, despite having been studied since Aristotle's time. The advent of modern biology with the sequencing of entire genomes and mapping of all genes offers the promise that one day we will understand how genes function to regulate cell division and differentiation.

23. Effects of pharmaceutical modulation of protein aggregation on lifespan in Caenorhabditis elegans
Abstract : Aging is accompanied by a disruption in various homeostatic networks including those devoted to maintaining protein conformation and integrity. Collectively this maintenance is referred to protein homeostasis or proteostasis. READ MORE

24. A transcriptomic tale of two worms : Evaluating Caenorhabditis elegans as a model for Parascaris univalens in drug resistance studies
Abstract : Parascaris univalens, an equine roundworm, poses a significant threat to foals, potentially causing lethal intestinal ruptures in high infestations. Infection control relies on a limited arsenal of anthelmintic drugs like ivermectin (IVM). READ MORE

25. The plasticity of aging and survival : a role for the thioredoxin system in Caenorhabditis elegans
Abstract : Thioredoxin and related systems regulate many biological processes in diverse species. In mammals, in addition to protecting against oxidative damage, they also play key roles as regulators of transcription factors, signaling cascades and immune responses. READ MORE
