The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is a powerful model organism that has been widely
used to study molecular biology, cell development, neurobiology, and aging. Despite their …

For decades, researchers in the biology of aging have focused on defining mechanisms that
modulate aging by primarily studying a single metric, sometimes described as the “gold …

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 …

This paper describes the design, fabrication and characterisation of a novel monolithic lab-
on-a-chip (LOC) platform combining the trapping and germination of individual zoospores of …

The locomotory gait analysis of the microswimmer, Caenorhabditis elegans, is a commonly
adopted approach for strain recognition and examination of phenotypic defects. Gait is also …

Oomycetes in the genus Phytophthora cause devastating diseases worldwide, resulting in
billions of dollars of economic damage annually. Although the control of these oomycetes is …

A microfluidic device includes a substrate, a cover layer and one or more chambers
disposed within the cover layer, the substrate or both. Each chamber has a first end, a …

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 …
