Improved Methods of Microinjection in Caenorhabditis elegans: Automation and Microfluidic Systems
C. elegans has become a versatile model organism because of various advantages, such as being a small-sized non-parasitic worm with a transparent body and a short life cycle, along with the capacity to conduct in vivo live worm imaging, genetic amenability and cost-effective laboratory maintenance. It has also gained popularity because of the mapping of the developmental fate of every single ce...
متن کاملMicrofluidic Devices in Advanced Caenorhabditis elegans Research.
The study of model organisms is very important in view of their potential for application to human therapeutic uses. One such model organism is the nematode worm, Caenorhabditis elegans. As a nematode, C. elegans have ~65% similarity with human disease genes and, therefore, studies on C. elegans can be translated to human, as well as, C. elegans can be used in the study of different types of pa...
متن کاملComparing Caenorhabditis elegans gentle and harsh touch response behavior using a multiplexed hydraulic microfluidic device.
The roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans is an important model system for understanding the genetics and physiology of touch. Classical assays for C. elegans touch, which involve manually touching the animal with a probe and observing its response, are limited by their low throughput and qualitative nature. We developed a microfluidic device in which several dozen animals are subject to spatially l...
متن کاملNeuroChip: A Microfluidic Electrophysiological Device for Genetic and Chemical Biology Screening of Caenorhabditis elegans Adult and Larvae
Genetic and chemical biology screens of C. elegans have been of enormous benefit in providing fundamental insight into neural function and neuroactive drugs. Recently the exploitation of microfluidic devices has added greater power to this experimental approach providing more discrete and higher throughput phenotypic analysis of neural systems. Here we make a significant addition to this repert...
متن کاملEnhanced Caenorhabditis elegans Locomotion in a Structured Microfluidic Environment
BACKGROUND Behavioral studies of Caenorhabditis elegans traditionally are done on the smooth surface of agar plates, but the natural habitat of C. elegans and other nematodes is the soil, a complex and structured environment. In order to investigate how worms move in such environments, we have developed a technique to study C. elegans locomotion in microstructures fabricated from agar. METHOD...
