Neuropeptide GPCRs in C. elegans

Neuropeptide GPCRs in C. elegans

Like most organisms, the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans relies heavily on neuropeptidergic signaling. This tiny animal represents a suitable model system to study neuropeptidergic signaling networks with single cell resolution due to the availability of powerful molecular and genetic tools. The ava...
