Caenorhabditis elegans has long been established as a model organism for investigating the molecular determinants of organogenesis and cell fate specification. Vulval development exemplifies a highly ...

After a decade-long quest to fill a major gap in basic biology, UChicago scientists have built a complete map of how cells ...

Researchers have developed a new imaging technique to observe active gene expression in real time. They found that four molecules work together to control the timing of each stage of the C. elegans ...

The long-term objective of my research is to contribute to our understanding of how cell fates are specified during development. The free-living soil nematode, Caenorhabditis elegans, is an excellent ...
