Caenorhabditis elegans as a model system for human diseases.

Current opinion in biotechnology - 1 Jun 2020

Markaki Maria, Tavernarakis Nektarios

Abstract excerpt

The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans offers unique advantages that enable a comprehensive delineation of the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying devastating human pathologies such as stroke, ischemia and age-associated neurodegenerative disorders. Genetic models of human diseases that closely simulate several disease-related phenotypes have been established in the worm. These models allow the...
