C. elegans as a powerful model for neurotoxicity assessment
26 Jul 2025
Abstract excerpt
The small nematode Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) has emerged as a valuable tool in neurotoxicology due to its well-characterized nervous system, genetic tractability, and high conservation of molecular pathways with humans. These characteristics allow to study cellular and molecular mechanisms triggered by neurotoxic substances. In C. elegans, behavioral, molecular, neurophysiological, and neuronal...
