Automated phenotyping of Caenorhabditis elegans embryos with a high-throughput-screening microfluidic platform

Martinus Gijs, Matteo Cornaglia, Raphaël Etienne Jean Trouillon, Hüseyin Baris Atakan, Tunç Alkanat

The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans has been extensively used as a model multicellular organism to study the influence of osmotic stress conditions and the toxicity of chemical compounds on developmental and motility-associated phenotypes. However, the sev ...

Anin vivomicrofluidic study of bacterial transit inC. elegansnematodes

Martinus Gijs, Thomas Lehnert, Matteo Cornaglia, Hüseyin Baris Atakan, Vittorio Viri

Caenorhabditis elegans(C. elegans) constitutes an important model organism for use in nutrition and aging studies. We report a novel method for studying the dynamics ofEscherichia coli(E. coli) bacterial transit through the worms' intestine. A microfluidic ...

Microfluidic system for Caenorhabditis elegans culture and oxygen consumption rate measurements

Martinus Gijs, Thomas Lehnert, Matteo Cornaglia, Roger Philippe Krenger

Mitochondrial respiration is a key signature for the assessment of mitochondrial functioning and mitochondrial dysfunction is related to many diseases including metabolic syndrome and aging-associated conditions. Here, we present a microfluidic Caenorhabdi ...

Automated Platform for Long-Term Culture and High-Content Phenotyping of Single C. elegans Worms

Johan Auwerx, Martinus Gijs, Matteo Cornaglia, Laurent Mouchiroud, Rongrong Xiang, Elena Katsyuba, Hüseyin Baris Atakan

The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is a suitable model organism in drug screening. Traditionally worms are grown on agar plates, posing many challenges for long-term culture and phenotyping of animals under identical conditions. Microfluidics allows for ' ...

The Detection of Early Epigenetic Inheritance of Mitochondrial Stress in C. Elegans with a Microfluidic Phenotyping Platform

Johan Auwerx, Martinus Gijs, Matteo Cornaglia, Hüseyin Baris Atakan

Fluctuations and deterioration in environmental conditions potentially have a phenotypic impact that extends over generations. Transgenerational epigenetics is the defined term for such intergenerational transient inheritance without an alteration in the D ...

Automated High-Content Phenotyping Of The Nematode C. Elegans At Single Animal Resolution With A Microfluidic Platform

Johan Auwerx, Martinus Gijs, Matteo Cornaglia, Laurent Mouchiroud, Rongrong Xiang, Hüseyin Baris Atakan

In this work, we present a novel microfluidic approach to culture the nematode C. elegans from the onset of embryogenesis to the adult stage at single animal resolution. Our device allows high-throughput experimentation, high-resolution imaging, thereby pr ...

Automated high-content phenotyping from the first larval stage till the onset of adulthood of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans

Johan Auwerx, Martinus Gijs, Matteo Cornaglia, Laurent Mouchiroud, Hüseyin Baris Atakan

The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is increasingly used as a model for human biology. However, in vivo culturing platforms for C. elegans allowing high-content phenotyping during their life cycle in an automated fashion are lacking so far. Here, a multipl ...

Multimodal imaging and high-throughput image-processing for drug screening on living organisms on-chip

Michaël Unser, Johan Auwerx, Martinus Gijs, Matteo Cornaglia, Laurent Mouchiroud, Daniel Migliozzi, Virginie Sophie Uhlmann

A major step for the validation of medical drugs is the screening on whole organisms, which gives the systemic information that is missing when using cellular models. Caenorhabditis elegans is a soil worm that catches the interest of researchers who study ...

A design of experiment approach for efficient multi-parametric drug testing using a Caenorhabditis elegans model

Martinus Gijs, Matteo Cornaglia, Raphaël Etienne Jean Trouillon, Maria Cristina Letizia, Giuseppe Tranchida

When studying the drug effectiveness towards a target model, one should distinguish the effects of the drug itself and of all the other factors that could influence the screening outcome. This comprehensive knowledge is crucial, especially when model organ ...
