Aging and Lifespan in the Rotifer
Rotifers have been used as a model in aging studies due to their several advantages such as short lifespan, ease of culture, and asexual reproduction that enables clonal culture. Recent molecular phylogenetic ...

Insulin-like growth factor signaling pathway involved in regulating longevity of rotifers
Rotifers have been used to study the mechanisms of ageing for more than a century, but the underlying molecular basis of ageing in rotifers is largely unknown. The insulin/insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1) si...

Molecular characterization of Mn-superoxide dismutase and gene expression studies in dietary restricted Brachionus plicatilis rotifers
Superoxide dismutases (SODs) promote a conversion of harmful reactive oxygen species (ROS) to relatively moderate forms, resulting in the extension of lifespan in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans under caloric...

Why do rotifer populations present a typical sigmoid growth curve?
To determine the underlying processes to population growth in the rotifer Brachionus plicatilis, we conducted an experiment using 1.5 ml cultures for 70 days. All individuals were transferred daily to culture med...
