A combination of a microfluidic device with a light modulation system was developed to
detect the oxygen consumption rate of a single developing Caenorhabditis elegans (C …

Microfluidic devices offer several advantages for C. elegans research, particularly for
presenting precise physical and chemical environments, immobilizing animals during …

Environmental pollutants like microplastics are posing health concerns on aquatic animals
and the ecosystem. Microplastic toxicity studies using C. elegans as a model are evolving …

Drug discovery requires screening for potential synthetic or natural compounds from a vast
number of libraries and therefore, is a lengthy process. To accurately measure drug efficacy …

One remarkable feature of the nervous system is its ability to rapidly and spontaneously
switch between activity states. In the extreme example of sleep, animals arrest locomotion …

Caenorhabditis elegans is a performant model system for studying human biological
processes and diseases and for pre-clinical phenotyping screenings of compounds …

Zebrafish (Danio rerio) have been used as a model organism for behavioral screening
assays due to their high genetic homology with humans. However, research on zebrafish …

It is amazingly puzzling and intriguing how cells detect and respond to mechanical,
chemical, and electrical stimuli, and make vital cellular decisions accordingly. Generations …

Caenorhabditis elegans and Drosophila melanogaster are widely used model organisms for
