Notes
The nematode cuticle is among the most complex extracellular structures produced by a living organism. For the last few years the work in our laboratory has been devoted to the study of the cuticle of the free living nematode, Caenorhabditis elegans. Studies so far largely have been of a descriptive nature, involving attempts to characterize the morphology and composition of the cuticle and to isolate and study mutants altered ingenes that control and regulate cuticle formation. Our long-term interest is to understand the genetic control and regulation of complex processes such as cuticle formation.
