Extraction of Antioxidant Peptides and Activity Evaluation of Frog (Rana nigromaculata) Skin by Ultra-high Pressure Assisted Enzyme Hydrolysis by Xicai ZHANG, Rong LI, Yechuan HUANG

“…The antioxidant properties of frog (Rana nigromaculata) skin small molecule peptides were evaluated in Caenorhabditis elegans model as well as in vitro. Taking the yield of highly active small molecule peptides as the index, the response surface method was utilized to optimize the four parameters containing enzyme addition, ultra-high pressure, the action time, and liquid-to-material ratio to determine the best extraction process for small molecule peptides. …”

MicroRNAs in Development by Danielle Maatouk, Brian D. Harfe

“…The functions of the first two miRNAs, lin-4 and let-7, were relatively easy to identify since they were found in forward genetic screens in Caenorhabditis elegans[1,2,3]. However, uncovering the functions of the growing list of miRNAs presents a challenge to developmental biologists. …”

DOSAGE COMPENSATION: REGULATION OF SEX CHROMOSOME GENE EXPRESSION by E. V. Dementyeva

“…Study of this process in the sex chromosomes of Drosophila melanogaster, Caenorhabditis elegans, and mammals has shown that, despite the common reason of dosage compensation origin, entirely different ways were elaborated to regulate X-linked gene expression level. …”

Evolution of the C-Type Lectin-Like Receptor Genes of the DECTIN-1 Cluster in the NK Gene Complex by Susanne Sattler, Hormas Ghadially, Erhard Hofer

“…Recent developments in sequencing and the availability of comprehensive sequence data comprising many species showed that the receptors of the DECTIN-1 cluster are not only homologous to each other but also highly conserved between species. Even in Caenorhabditis elegans, genes displaying homology to the mammalian C-type lectin-like receptors have been detected. …”

Nematicidal Action of Microencapsulated Essential Oil of Flesh Fingered Citron by Xixi Piao, Lirong Zhang, Songxing Zhang, Fengping Yi

“…The loading capacity was 32.67%, and the embedding yield was 96.24%, assuming that a core-to-wall quality ratio of 1 : 6 is optimal for the carrier. Using Caenorhabditis elegans as a model organism, we explored the toxicity of (1) FFC EO microcapsules (MCs) and (2) four key compounds of the EOs. …”

Finding the Correct Partner: The Meiotic Courtship by Tomás Naranjo

“…Other mechanisms leading to homology search are recombination-independent and require specialized pairing sites. In the worm Caenorhabditis elegans, each chromosome carries a pairing center consisting of a chromosome-specific DNA-protein complex, and in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, the sme2 locus encodes a meiosis-specific non-coding RNA that mediates on homologous recognition. …”
