Microfluidic culture platforms for C. elegans bacterial interaction and digestion studies at single-organism resolution
Increasing interest in understanding fundamental biological processes, among which aging and nutrition, has led to the study of simple and powerful model organisms, as the round-worm Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans). The nematode, selected by Sydney Bre ...
EPFL2021PDMS filter structures for size-dependent larval sorting and on-chip egg extraction of C. elegans
Martinus Gijs, Furkan Ayhan, Hüseyin Baris Atakan
C. elegans-based assays require age-synchronized populations prior to experimentation to achieve standardized sets of worm populations, due to which age-induced heterogeneous phenotyping effects can be avoided. There have been several approaches to synchro ...
ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY2020Role of Nimrod receptors in the Drosophila melanogaster cellular immune response
The use of modern molecular biology tools and simple but powerful tractable model organisms such as Drosophila has contributed significantly to our recent advances in the innate immunity field, notably phagocytosis. Since 2001, many phagocytic transmembran ...
EPFL2020Design and Characterization of a Lightweight and Fully Portable Remote Actuation System for Use With a Hand Exoskeleton
Roger Gassert, Olivier Lambercy, Jumpei Arata
Enabling individuals who are living with reduced mobility of the hand to utilize portable exoskeletons at home has the potential to deliver rehabilitation therapies with a greater intensity and relevance to activities of daily living. Various hand exoskele ...
2016Early life exposure to PCB126 results in delayed mortality and growth impairment in the zebrafish larvae
The occurrence of chronic or delayed toxicity resulting from the exposure to sublethal chemical concentrations is an increasing concern in environmental risk assessment. The Fish Embryo Toxicity (FET) test with zebrafish provides a reliable prediction of a ...
Elsevier Science Bv2015Dpp Signaling Activity Requires Pentagone to Scale with Tissue Size in the Growing Drosophila Wing Imaginal Disc
The wing of the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, with its simple, two-dimensional structure, is a model organ well suited for a systems biology approach. The wing arises from an epithelial sac referred to as the wing imaginal disc, which undergoes a pha ...
