[Case Study] Exploring the Potential
NemaMetrix is the market leader for early preclinical in-vivo testing using small animal models to gain a better understanding of the efficacy, mode of action, toxicity and potential targets for novel compounds. In this case study we outline how we used the animal model C. elegans to perform a set of specific experiments designed by our experts to provide rapid and reliable data based on our customer’s priorities. Using the data that we provided, our customer was able to apply for multiple patents in a timely manner.
A New Approach to Anti-Aging Research
The shift towards preventive medicine has given anti-aging startups a favorable environment in pursuing longevity and aging issues. The nematode C. elegans has emerged to be a useful animal model for anti-aging and longevity studies.
Worming into Relevance – How C. elegans Can Help us Understand Human Health
Animal testing in the research-based pharmaceutical industry has been reduced in recent years both for ethical and cost reasons. However, it is still a staple when it comes to discovering new compounds directed at improving human health. Recently, I have come across more and more researchers who are looking for the most efficient way to …

wMicroTracker Applications: Aging and Healthspan
The wMicroTracker is a great product to add to your work around aging and healthpsan. Check out the application sheet below to see how easy it is to use and how it will positively impact your research.
Aging studies use C. elegans to test bacterial genes
Interesting data using C. elegans for studying the impact your gut microbiome may have on your lifespan and healthspan from the Wang Lab at Baylor College of Medicine. The study highlights the power of C. elegans as a tool for whole animal discovery – the work would have been impossible to carry out using cultured cells and would have been prohibitively expensive in mice.
Health markers are impaired in aging C. elegans
C. elegans’ feeding behavior strongly influences the worm’s aging and longevity. We tested adult worms to quantify how aging affects their feeding behavior. In older adults, pharyngeal pumping was weaker and less regular.
