The discovery of new drugs is often propelled by the increasing resistance of parasites to
existing drugs and the availability of better technology platforms. The area of microfluidics …

Reproduction is a fundamental process that shapes the demography of every living
organism yet is often difficult to assess with high precision in animals that produce large …

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 …

This article describes the fabrication of a microfluidic device for the liquid culture of many
individual nematode worms (Caenorhabditis elegans) in separate chambers. Each chamber …

Caenorhabditis elegans is a useful organism for testing chemical effects on physiology.
Whole organism small molecule screens offer significant advantages for identifying …

The roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) is a powerful model organism for
addressing fundamental biological questions related to human disease and aging. Its life …

Studies of the real-time dynamics of embryonic development require a gentle embryo
handling method, the possibility of long-term live imaging during the complete …

In this paper, we report a novel microfluidic method to conduct a Caenorhabditis elegans
electrotaxis movement assay and neuronal imaging on up to 16 worms in parallel. C …

Tractable models such as the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans provide profound insight
into a wide range of biological phenomena. It is the objective of any scientific effort to …

We present the WormPharm, an automated microfluidic platform that utilizes an axenic
medium to culture C. elegans. The WormPharm is capable of sustaining C. elegans for …
