- In November's #EditorsChoice, Katerina Yamamoto, @cswormlab.bsky.social & co investigate the connection between #InnateImmunity and #LipidMetabolism, using the worm model #Celegans ⚡ doi.org/10.1242/dmm.... 📰https://doi.org/10.1242/dmm.052357
- Anam Naseer, Pranoy Toppo, Mahmood Akbar, Aamir Nazir investigate the mechanistic aspect of mitochondrial #sirtuins in modulating age-associated #neurodegeneration, specifically #ParkinsonsDisease, using #Celegans Read doi.org/10.1242/dmm....
- 🌟 Last DSSS Talk of 2025 🌟 We’re excited to welcome Prof. Hinrich Schulenberg from the University of Kiel & MPI for Evolutionary Biology, Plön 📅 Tuesday, 9 December ⏰ 11:00 AM 📍 Max Planck House lecture hall, Max-Planck-Ring 6 ▶️ More info: tinyurl.com/2ynjepp8 #DSSS #EvolutionaryBiology #Celegans
- Dias Maia Henriques, Dumont, Maton et al. @ijmonod.bsky.social uncover an #anaphase A pathway, driven by the #kinesin-13 KLP-7 and opposed by the kinesin-12 KLP-18, that contributes to chromosome segregation in early #Celegans embryos. rupress.org/jcb/article/... #Mitosis #CellDivision #Spindle
- Paper alert! doi.org/10.1038/s443... - "A scheduler for rhythmic gene expression". We show how 9 txn factors suffice for rhythmic gene expression of thousands of genes with any phase or amplitude in #Celegans larvae (and also look at the tissues where oscillations happen) 1/n
- Worms love flies! Please consider donating to FlyBase. Model organisms unite! #celegans
- FlyBase needs your help! We ask that European labs continue to contribute to Cambridge, UK FlyBase, whereas US and other non-European labs can contribute to US FlyBase. For more information and how to donate: wiki.flybase.org/wiki/FlyBase...
- 🎉 Congrats to @kgaurav.bsky.social, Lukas Stelzl & @reneketting.bsky.social (SFB1551) on their new Biophysical Journal paper! #MUT16 #PhaseSeparation #MutatorFoci #SmallRNA #GeneRegulation #Celegans #ProteinAssembly #RNAResearch #MultiscaleSimulations Great teamwork👏👏👏 www.cell.com/biophysj/ful....
- Do you like neuronal #plasticity? #genetics? #Celegans? Check out 1st installment of work by Kristi Zoga in the lab. Kristi screened 20 conserved #autism genes for roles in experience-dependent #neuron remodeling and a related behavior. doi.org/10.1093/genetics/iyaf156
- #MicroscopyTuesday: Planes of a Worm #CElegans, a small nematode worm, has just a single nerve cell that regulates sleep. 💤 Despite that, it keeps providing scientists with key insights into sleep mechanisms! 🧠🚀 📸 Inka Busack, Bringmann Group, BIOTEC
- Opening for a #postdoc in the lab available immediately. Please spread the word. DETAILS HERE: jobrxiv.org/job/baylor-c... cc: #academicJobs #postdocJobs #microbiome #Celegans #organoids #IBD #PathSky #Medsky #AcademicSky 🧪 🧬 🦠
- 🚨New preprint alert!!! We show using #Celegans that mothers control the #ribosome levels of their offspring depending on their diet. Pioneered by fantastic Sigma Pradhan (not yet on 🟦). #worms biorxiv.org/content/10.1.... 🧵
- Have you ever wondered what is on the surface of a #nematode like #Celegans? …it turns out they are surprisingly greasy little critters and covered in many different lipids. To read more about this, check out the excellent paper from the Chauhan lab which we were very happy to be a small part of.
- New publication in JACS! 🔬🐍 "Surface Lipids in Nematodes are Influenced by Development and Species-specific Adaptations" 📖 doi.org/10.1021/jacs... Supported by @uniofnottingham.bsky.social, EPSRC and @ukri.org, @maxplanck.de and @dfg.de
- #Celegans #Worms - I'm guessing sending whole labs to big conferences might be too expensive for many labs this year. I want to highlight this meeting will be FREE. VAI will cover all costs and lunch and if people still want night networking I will set something up if enough are interested.
- Website and registration for the 11th annual Midwest Worm Meeting on April 18th is now live. Great opportunity for trainees who might not be able to attend the bigger meetings. Also if you'd like to visit VAI or see a great Keynote by Prof. Frank Schroeder this year. - www.vai.org/event/2025-m...
- First #bluetorial. 🎉🎉 We’re very happy to share our latest biorxiv #preprint, just in time before the holiday season. We explored how transposable elements (TEs) diversify eukaryotic proteomes and found a cool case in nematode F-box genes. #TEsky #evosky #Celegans Short 🧵 with highlights.

- This is a lovely piece about the 2024 Nobel Prize to Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun, written by Bruce Wightman, the first author of one of the prize-winning papers. It emphasizes the importance of fundamental research and the beauty of heterochronic genes. #Celegans #devbio 🧪🧬 doi.org/10.1242/dmm....
