Caenorhabditis elegans, a model organism for kidney research: from cilia to mechanosensation and longevity.

Current opinion in nephrology and hypertension - 1 Jul 2011

Müller Roman-Ulrich, Zank Sibylle, Fabretti Francesca, Benzing Thomas

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The introduction of Caenorhabditis elegans by Sydney Brenner to study 'how genes might specify the complex structures found in higher organisms' revolutionized molecular and developmental biology and pioneered a new research area to study organ development and cellular differentiation with this model organism. Here, we review the role of the nematode in renal research and discuss future...
