Automated longitudinal monitoring of in vivo protein aggregation in neurodegenerative disease C. elegans models

Johan Auwerx, Martinus Gijs, Thomas Lehnert, Matteo Cornaglia, Laurent Mouchiroud, Vincenzo Sorrentino, Govindan Narayanan Krishnamani

Background: While many biological studies can be performed on cell-based systems, the investigation of molecular pathways related to complex human dysfunctions - e.g. neurodegenerative diseases - often requires long-term studies in animal models. The nemat ...

On-chip microfluidic biocommunication assay for studying male-induced demise in C. elegans hermaphrodites

Martinus Gijs, Thomas Lehnert, Matteo Cornaglia, Li Dong

Like other animals, C. elegans nematodes have the ability to socially interact and to communicate through exchange and sensing of small soluble signaling compounds that help them cope with complex environmental conditions. For the time being, worm biocommu ...

Size-dependent sorting of C. elegans nematodes through an adjustable microfluidic filter structure

Martinus Gijs, Thomas Lehnert, Matteo Cornaglia, Li Dong

We introduce a new and simple microfluidic sorting device based on adjustable filter structures that can be easily tuned by external pressure for a specific size-dependent C. elegans worm sorting experiment. A single device can be used for selecting and so ...

Versatile size-dependent sorting of C-elegans nematodes and embryos using a tunable microfluidic filter structure

Martinus Gijs, Thomas Lehnert, Matteo Cornaglia, Li Dong

The roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) is a powerful model organism for addressing fundamental biological questions related to human disease and aging. Its life cycle consists of an embryo stage, four larval stages that can be clearly distinguis ...

An automated microfluidic platform for C. elegans embryo arraying, phenotyping, and long-term live imaging

Johan Auwerx, Martinus Gijs, Thomas Lehnert, Matteo Cornaglia, Laurent Mouchiroud, Alexis Pierre Henri Marette, Virginija Jovaisaite, Shreya Narasimhan

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 embryogenesis, as well as of parallelization providing a population's statistics, while keepin ...

Dose-response curve of a microfluidic magnetic bead-based surface coverage sandwich assay

Martinus Gijs, Thomas Lehnert, Matteo Cornaglia, Raphaël Etienne Jean Trouillon, Hüseyin Cumhur Tekin

Magnetic micro-and nanoparticles ('magnetic beads') have been used to advantage in many microfluidic devices for sensitive antigen (Ag) detection. Today, assays that use as read-out of the signal the number count of immobilized beads on a surface for quant ...

Nanocalorimetric platform for accurate thermochemical studies in microliter volumes

Martinus Gijs, Thomas Lehnert, Raphaël Etienne Jean Trouillon, Rima Padovani

A straightforward and general way for monitoring chemical reactions is via their thermal signature. Such approach requires however an experimental setup with a high thermal stability that simultaneously allows time-resolved heat detection with high sensiti ...

Study of constrained Brownian motion of nanoparticles near an interface using optical tweezers

Martinus Gijs, Thomas Lehnert, Matteo Cornaglia, Raphaël Etienne Jean Trouillon, Hui Yang

We demonstrate a method to determine the Brownian motion and the diffusion coefficient of a nanoparticle in water in a plane that is parallel to a solid boundary and as function of the distance normal to that boundary by using an optical tweezers instrumen ...

A random-walk based model to explain ultrasensitive magnetic bead-based immunoassays

Martinus Gijs, Thomas Lehnert, Matteo Cornaglia, Raphaël Etienne Jean Trouillon, Hüseyin Cumhur Tekin

We introduce a new modeling approach for understanding the fundamental principle of bead-based surface coverage immunoassays that rely on the specific interaction between surface-bound “small” magnetic beads (1 μm in diameter) and a flow of “large” magneti ...

Magnetic Particle-Scanning for Ultrasensitive Immunodetection On-Chip

Martinus Gijs, Thomas Lehnert, Matteo Cornaglia, Raphaël Etienne Jean Trouillon, Hüseyin Cumhur Tekin

We describe the concept of magnetic particle-scanning for on-chip detection of biomolecules: a magnetic particle, carrying a low number of antigens (Ag's) (down to a single molecule), is transported by hydrodynamic forces and is subjected to successive sto ...
