Abstract
Caenorhabditis elegans is a versatile model organism widely used in survival assays to investigate aging, stress resistance, and pathogen infection. Here, we report an overview of survival assays using C. elegans, focusing on assay types, commonly used reagents, and notable analysis platforms. This MiniResource will provide practical information and insights for the design and application of C. elegans survival assays for researchers in the field.
