An In Vivo Microfluidic Study of Bacterial Load Dynamics and Absorption in the C. elegans Intestine
Martinus Gijs, Thomas Lehnert, Vittorio Viri, Maël Arveiler
Caenorhabditiselegans (C. elegans) has gained importance as a model for studying host-microbiota interactions and bacterial infections related to human pathogens. Assessing the fate of ingested bacteria in the worm's intestine is therefore of great interes ...
MDPI2021Life-history trade-offs and limitations associated with phenotypic adaptation under future ocean warming and elevated salinity
Emma Mary Gibbin, Félix Christen
Little is known about the life-history trade-offs and limitations, and the physiological mechanisms that are associated with phenotypic adaptation to future ocean conditions. To address this knowledge gap, we investigated the within-and trans-generation li ...
ROYAL SOC2019Simultaneous preservation of the DNA quality, the community composition and the density of freshwater oligochaetes for the development of genetically based biological indices
Introduction. Oligochaetes are recognized as valuable bioindicators of sediment quality in streams and lakes. The development of an oligochaete index based on the identification of specimens using DNA barcodes requires a method for simultaneously preservin ...
2018Microfluidic high-content phenotypic screening on a Caenorhabditis elegans model
Caenorhabditis elegans is a performant model system for studying human biological processes and diseases and for pre-clinical phenotyping screenings of compounds. Microfluidics has been instrumental in enabling C. elegans-based drug assays, facilitating th ...
EPFL2018C. Elegans Immobilization Using Deformable Microfluidics For In Vivo Studies Of Early Embryogenesis And Intestinal Microbiota
Martinus Gijs, Thomas Lehnert, Matteo Cornaglia, Li Dong, Xiaopeng Huang, Jingwei Zhang
The genome of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans shows far-reaching similarities to that of humans. C. elegans is therefore considered as a powerful model organism in biological research related to humans, for instance for the study of human diseases. Suc ...
Ieee2017Assessing metal bioaccumulation from estuarine sediments: comparative experimental results for the polychaete Arenicola marina
The purpose of this paper is to compare three approaches for providing information on the bioaccumulation potential of metals from contaminated sediments to the deposit-feeding polychaete Arenicola marina. We present metal (Ag, As, Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn) bioac ...
