Nanotoxicology in Caenorhabditis elegans

Abstract

The model animal of nematode Caenorhabditis elegans has become an important in vivo alternative assay system for toxicological study of different environmental toxicants or stresses. We here introduced the several important values of C. elegans in the toxicological study for environmental toxicants or stresses. Meanwhile, we also discussed the limitations of nematodes for the toxicological study of environmental toxicants or stresses.
