Journal ArticleDOI
The embryonic cell lineage of the nematode Halicephalobus gingivalis (Nematoda: Cephalobina: Panagrolaimoidea)
Wouter Houthoofd,Gaetan Borgonie +1 more
TL;DR: The data presented here show that the polyclonal cell specification is much more widespread in clades 9 and 10 and is not a highly derived trait that is specifically linked to the fast development of the model organism C. elegans.
Journal ArticleDOI
Caspase-14 protects against epidermal UVB photodamage and water loss.

Presland,Luc Schoonjans,Claude Libert,Joël Vandekerckhove,Kris Gevaert,Peter Vandenabeele,Wim Declercq +17 more
TL;DR: The skin of caspase-14-deficient mice was highly sensitive to the formation of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers after UVB irradiation, leading to increased levels of UVB-induced apoptosis, and removal of the stratum corneum indicate that casp enzyme-14 controls the UVB scavenging capacity of the Stratum Corneum.
Journal ArticleDOI
An improved molecular phylogeny of the Nematoda with special emphasis on marine taxa.
Birgit H M Meldal,N.J. Debenham,Paul De Ley,Irma Tandingan De Ley,Jacques R. Vanfleteren,Andy Vierstraete,Wim Bert,Gaetan Borgonie,Tom Moens,Paul A. Tyler,Melanie C. Austen,Mark Blaxter,Alex Rogers,P. J. D. Lambshead +13 more
TL;DR: Small subunit ribosomal DNA (SSU rDNA) sequences for 100 previously un-sequenced species of nematodes, including 46 marine taxa are added and phylogenies provide support for the re-classification of the Secernentea as the order Rhabditida that derived from a common ancestor of chromadorean orders Araeolaimida, Chromadoria, Desmodorida, Desmoscolecida, and Monhysterida.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nematoda from the terrestrial deep subsurface of South Africa
Gaetan Borgonie,Antonio García-Moyano,Antonio García-Moyano,Derek Litthauer,Wim Bert,Wim Bert,Armand Bester,E. van Heerden,C Moller,Mariana Erasmus,Tullis C. Onstott +10 more
TL;DR: The discovery of multicellular life in the deep subsurface of the Earth also has important implications for the search for multicell life on other planets in our Solar System as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
An endosymbiotic bacterium in a plant-parasitic nematode: member of a new Wolbachia supergroup.
Annelies Haegeman,Bartel Vanholme,Joachim Jacob,Tom T. M. Vandekerckhove,Myriam Claeys,Gaetan Borgonie,Godelieve Gheysen +6 more
TL;DR: The endosymbiont of R. similis is designated to a new supergroup (supergroup I) rather than considering it as a new species because its role remains unknown, pointing towards an essential function of the bacteria.
