In lean times, a normal Caenorhabditis elegans worm goes into a form of suspended animation called "dauer" that slows its " organisms, C. elegans maintains a degree of mobility during dauer by stocking up on energy in the form of fats – or lipids – which they store in special cells or reserves.
"This allows them to live up to six months without eating, instead of the two weeks they would otherwise have," Roy specializing in the control of cell division. "They shut down everything energy-consuming, which includes foraging, cell division and reproduction."Unlike other "hibernatingexplained. A worm with the newly discovered mutation, however, will usually die within a week of going into dauermetabolism and allows it to survive for extended periods without food."When they go into dauer, these worms radically alter their metabolism," said Dr. Richard Roy, a cancer researcher at McGill's Department of Biology
