Pharmacology in Caenorhabditis elegans

This book provides a systematic overview of pharmacology research using Caenorhabditis elegans. It introduces the value of C. elegans as a model organism, pharmacological bioavailability, dynamics, and metabolism, target pharmacology involving organs, organelles, molecules, pathogens, and gut microbes, as well as the pharmacological effects and underlying mechanisms of compounds and biochemical metabolites. The book also covers high-throughput drug screening and the identification of pharmacologically active compounds from plants and traditional Chinese medicines. It is intended for researchers and students in pharmacology and related biomedical fields.
