Abstract
Caenorhabditis elegans is a versatile model organism widely used in survival assays to investigate aging, stress resistance, and pathogen infection. Here, we report an overview of survival assays using C. elegans, focusing on assay types, commonly used reagents, and notable analysis platforms. This MiniResource will provide practical information and insights for the design and application of C. elegans survival assays for researchers in the field.
期刊介绍:
Molecules and Cells is an international on-line open-access journal devoted to the advancement and dissemination of fundamental knowledge in molecular and cellular biology. It was launched in 1990 and ISO abbreviation is "Mol. Cells". Reports on a broad range of topics of general interest to molecular and cell biologists are published. It is published on the last day of each month by the Korean Society for Molecular and Cellular Biology.
