    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 ...

    Offshore spawning of Conger myriaster in the western North Pacific: evidence for convergent migration strategies of anguilliform eels in the Atlantic and Pacific

    The spawning area of the common Japanese conger, Conger myriaster, had remained unknown because spawning adults or its newly hatched larvae were never collected. Using genetic identification, we determined that C...

    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...

    Effect of conditioned media on the asexual reproduction of the monogonont rotifer Brachionus plicatilis O. F. Müller

    We carried out several individual cultures of the rotifer Brachionus plicatilis to determine the effects of conditioned medium on its asexual reproductive characteristics, such as age and body size at first amict...
