线虫发育模式的分子生物学研究概况

A Summary of the Study on Developmental Molecular Biology of C.elegans as a Model System .

线虫是研究动物发育的理想模式系统.由其细胞谱系研究深入到细胞间相互作用及信号传递的研究、细胞程序性死亡的研究,乃至多基因相互作用调控发育的研究,这些都是今后这一领域的研究热点.

Caenorhabditis elegans is a very suitable model system for study of animal development. Based on the fixed cell lineage of Caenorhabditis elegans , many procedures involved in development, such as cell interaction, signal transduction mechanism, cell programmed death and multigene regulation of development , can be studied and clarified in the future .
