Highlights
Mutations in the Wnt, Notch, and Ras-ERK signaling pathways in
C. elegans
lead to infertility, sterility, and multivulva formation.
Phenotypic assays using
C. elegans
mutant strains can be used as
in vivo
models for drug repurposing.
Itraconazole, disulfiram, etodolac, and ouabain have anticancer potential that can specifically target the Wnt, Notch, and RAS-ERK signaling pathways.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
