In a groundbreaking study involving tiny nematode worms, scientists have uncovered a fascinating connection between the creatures’ aversion to certain odors and an extended lifespan. The key player in this biological drama is a compound released by harmful bacteria, known as 1-undecene. When exposed to this compound, nematodes not only dodged the threat by retreating but also activated a neural pathway, leading to a longer life and a reduction in the aggregation of proteins linked to [...]

In a study involving nematode worms, scientists found that when these worms were exposed to a specific compound released by harmful bacteria, it triggered the activation of a neural pathway. This activation led to an increase in the lifespan of the worms and a reduction in protein aggregation, which is known to be a contributing factor in the development of neurodegenerative illnesses.
An organism’s reaction to repugnant odors can be an indicator of the organism’s capacity to [...]

Dans une étude portant sur des vers nématodes, les scientifiques ont découvert que lorsque ces vers étaient exposés à un composé spécifique libéré par des bactéries nocives, cela déclenchait l’activation d’une voie neuronale. Cette activation a entraîné une augmentation de la durée de vie des vers et une réduction de l’agrégation des protéines, connue [...]

The evidence from a SciTechDaily article reveals that nemavotedades exhibit a response triggered by fear of smell which may prolong the nematode's life or enable treatment for human neurodegenerative diseases.
A study involving nematode worms revealed that exposure to a specific compound released by pathogenic bacteria activated a neural pathway that increased worm lifespan and reduced protein aggregation, a process thought to drive neurodegenerative diseases.

Aversion to an offending smell can be an indicator of the organism’s capacity to protect itself from harmful substances and live longer. This at least is what happens in the case of nematodes of the species Caenorhabditis elegans.
Although nematodes (roundworms or threadworms) do not look remotely like humans, for about 50 years they have been used as a model for biological studies. The advantages include a simple nervous system, few cells and genes, many of which have the same [...]

对令人不快的气味的厌恶可以作为有机体保护自己免受有害物质侵害并延长寿命的能力的指标。这至少在秀丽隐杆线虫(Caenorhabditis elegans)是如此。
虽然线虫的外形与人类完全不同,但大约 50 年来,它们一直被用作生物研究的模型。其优点包括神经系统简单、细胞和基因数量少而且它们的许多功能与人类相同、寿命短(平均 17 [...]
