Hold the salt: Study shows standard worm food NaCl levels accelerate aging
A new study in GENETICS has a “circuitous” origin story, according to equal investigator Brian M. Egan. When Egan showed Kerry Kornfeld his inconclusive Caenorhabditis elegans data on how varying concentrations of sodium chloride (NaCl) affect the anti-aging activity of the blood pressure drug captopril, Kornfeld noticed an unexpected difference in the controls. Since C.…

Science & PublishingThe little worm that could (escape light): a single nerve cell helps C. elegans escape harmful UV exposure
It’s hard to imagine, but the tiny, translucent roundworm called C. elegans has approximately 20,470 protein-coding genes—about the same number as humans. This is perhaps one of the many reasons why this common worm was the first multicellular organism to have its genome completely sequenced during the Human Genome Project in 1998. Studying C. elegans…
