Paradigm Shifts in Cardiovascular Research From Caenorhabditis elegans Muscle
2012, Trends in Cardiovascular MedicineCitation Excerpt :This report initiated the field of sarcomere assembly in C. elegans. Subsequent characterization of these mutations at several levels (Dibb et al. 1985, Schachat et al. 1978) was pivotal in influencing the understanding of the pathogenesis of several human diseases involving myosin heavy chains. These include mutations affecting the cardiac β myosin heavy chains in persons affected by familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and the smooth muscle myosin heavy chains in hereditary thoracic aortic aneurysms (Geisterfer-Lowrance et al. 1990, Zhu et al. 2006).
Biochemical and cell biological analysis of actin in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans
2012, MethodsCitation Excerpt :Detailed culture methods for C. elegans are described by Stiernagle [28]. For actin preparation, C. elegans was grown in liquid culture essentially as described by Stiernagle [28] using Escherichia coli NA22 as a food [29]. E. coli OP50 can also be used as a food [28].
