The secret to longevity in tubeworms

With an incredible lifespan of up to 250 years the deep sea tube worm, Lamellibrachia luymesi is among the longest-lived of all animals, but how it obtains sufficient nutrient ?in the form of sulfide - to keep going for this long has been a mystery. In a paper just published in the premier open-access online journal PLoS Biology, Erik Cordes and colleagues now provide a solution: by releasing its...

Research on Worms Yields Clues on Aging

Humanityhas been looking for a "Fontaine de Jouvence" forever; a way to slow orstop aging. While its still nowhere to be found, we are makingprogress; in worms. Researchers found that an epilepsy drug used inhumans had the unexpected effect of prolonging the life span of C.Elegans: A class of anti-seizure medications slows the rate of aging inroundwo...

Stealth Worms May Improve Insect Pest Control

Nematodes comprise a worm family so large it literally covers the earth. They range in size from less than a micron in length to as much as 26 feet. Worldwide interest has begun to focus on microscopic nematodes that live with symbiotic bacteria. "We study these nematodes -- which are actually insect killers -- not only to understand how diverse they are, but also to use them as biological contro...

Fluorescing lab worms signal longer life spans

University of Colorado at Boulder scientists have used a fluorescent marker to predict the individual life spans of identical worms that were genetically engineered to illuminate stress levels, implying living organisms have "hidden physiological states" that dictate their ability to deal with the rigors of life. According to CU-Boulder Research Associate Shane Rea, the genetically identic...

Deep sea buffet for bone-devouring worms

Press release based on a recently published article in Environmental MicrobiologyAn unusual relationship between bacteria and a newly discovered group of marine worms is the only known partnership (or symbiosis) which uses sunken marine mammals as its sole source of nutrition. In the September issue of Environmental Microbiology, Dr Shana Goffredi and her colleagues reveal this unique part...

Worms Learn To Choose Their Diet

A study done by a researcher Yun Zhang at the Rockefeller University revealed that good taste is not an inherent trait of worms. // The research was mainly conducted on C.elagans which is a very simple nematode. It lives in the soil and feeds on various bacteria (both harmless and pathogenic ones).It has 302 neurons totally which can be mapped to individual behaviors. The genes...

Absorption Of Carbon Nanotube Measured In Worms Revolutionize Cancer Research

Researchers from the University of Michigan have discovered how to measure the absorption of multi-walled carbon nanoparticles into worms and cancer cells. // Carbon nanotubes were discovered in 1991, and have a great value in several areas, including pharmacology and for hydrogen storage in fuel cells. But despite their promise, a big problem was that it's not known how multi-walled carbon nanot...

Scientists Enlist Worms to Discover New Therapies for Huntington’s Diseas

Scientists from UAH are working with the U.S army to find clues that may help to build therapies for// Huntington’s disease. Lead researcher Dr. Lynn Boyd, an associate professor of biology at UAH has enlisted the help of an army of worms to find out what effect certain enzymes will have, on the clusters of amino acids associated with Huntington’s disease. The experiment is b...
