ScholarBank@NUS Repository. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.febslet.2009.09.051 | Abstract: | The nematode worm Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) is increasingly popular as a model organism for aging studies as well as for testing antioxidants and other compounds for effects on longevity. However, results in the literature are sometimes confusing and contradictory [1-4]. This review introduces C. elegans as a model organism, discusses aspects that make it attractive for aging and antioxidant research, and addresses some problems and potential artifacts. © 2009 Federation of European Biochemical Societies. | Source Title: | FEBS Letters | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/28741 | ISSN: | 00145793 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.febslet.2009.09.051 |
