Experimental organisms such as the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans are fundamental to biological discovery. The success of C. elegans research has ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), a peer reviewed journal of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) - an authoritative source of high-impact, original research that broadly spans...

Throwback to 2018 when physics laureate Donna Strickland started her banquet speech by talking about Cyndi Lauper's song 'Girls Just Want To Have Fun'. Strickland told us how enjoyable she found...

As biomedical research prioritizes human models and translational promise, classic model organisms are increasingly dismissed. Here we argue that they have a lasting value, both in enabling discovery and in cultivating scientific thinking, by training researchers in systems reasoning, integrative thinking and independent inquiry.

Replaying history with less NIH funding shows widespread impacts on drug-linked research

Neuronal cilia have emerged as crucial signaling hubs, yet their molecular composition and integration with synaptic communication remain poorly understood. Using a newly developed Arl13b-TurboID mous...

Memory formation is necessary for the survival of animals across phyla. Here, we elucidate the mechanism underlying the formation of long-term associative memory (LTAM) formed by treating Caenorhabdit...

Fred Hutch researchers have created a gene-expression map of glial cells of the tiny worm, C. elegans, adding the missing component that completes for the first time an atlas of the entire nervous sy...

As grants are canceled, delayed and subject to general uncertainty, participating in study sections can feel futile. But it’s more important than ever.

The portrayal of uncaring scientists without any thought for the animals being used in their research is far from the truth.
