In recent years, the research on the potential of using RNA interference (RNAi) to suppress
crop pests has made an outstanding growth. However, given the variability of RNAi …

Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium are common inhabitants of the human
gastrointestinal tract, as well as frequent opportunistic pathogens. Enterococci cause a …

This chapter focuses on the introduction of molecular signaling pathways involved in
regulating the toxicity of environmental toxicants or stresses in Caenorhabditis elegans …

Over the last decade, the development and prevalence of obesity have posed a serious
public health risk, which has prompted studies on the regulation of adiposity. With the ease …

The model organism Caenorhabditis elegans mounts transcriptional defense responses
against intestinal bacterial infections that elicit overlapping starvation and infection …

After decades of research, our knowledge of the complexity of cancer mechanisms,
elegantly summarized as 'hallmarks of cancer', is expanding, as are the therapeutic …

Immune response to pathogens is energetically expensive to the host; however, the cellular
source of energy to fuel immune response remains unknown. In this study, we show that …

Members of the epidermal growth factor receptor family (ErbB family) possess a wide
distribution and diverse functions ranging from cellular growth to migration and apoptosis …

Parasitic nematode infections are widespread in nature, affecting humans as well as wild,
companion, and livestock animals. Most parasitic nematodes inhabit the intestines of their …

The genome of Caenorhabditis elegans encodes 284 nuclear hormone receptor, which
perform diverse functions in development and physiology. One of the best characterized of …
