Vitamin B12 accelerates worm development: New model for isolating the effects of nutrients on gene expression and physiology

Friday, February 14, 2014 - 14:31 in Biology & Nature

Every day our cells take in nutrients from food and convert them into the building blocks that make life possible. However, it has been challenging to pinpoint exactly how a single nutrient or vitamin changes gene expression and physiology. Scientists have now developed a novel interspecies model system that allows these questions to be answered.
