Mechanobiology emerges at the crossroads of medicine, biology, biophysics and
engineering and describes how the responses of proteins, cells, tissues and organs to …

Caenorhabditis elegans lives in a complex habitat in which they routinely experience large
fluctuations in temperature, and encounter physical obstacles that vary in size and …

Manipulation of neuronal activity using two-photon excitation of azobenzene photoswitches
with near-infrared light has been recently demonstrated, but their practical use in neuronal …

New microfluidic systems for whole organism analysis and experimentation are catalyzing
biological breakthroughs across many fields, from human health to fundamental biology …

A growing body of work suggests that the material properties of biomolecular condensates
ensuing from liquid–liquid phase separation change with time. How this aging process is …

Neuronal computation is achieved through connections of individual neurons into a larger
network. To expand the repertoire of endogenous cellular communication, we developed a …

Throughout history, humans have relied on plants as a source of medication, flavoring, and
food. Plants synthesize large chemical libraries and release many of these compounds into …

A repetitive gait cycle is an archetypical component within the behavioral repertoire of many
animals including humans. It originates from mechanical feedback within proprioceptors to …

Bioluminescence microscopy is an appealing alternative to fluorescence microscopy,
because it does not depend on external illumination, and consequently does neither …

C. elegans is a useful genetic model system for investigating mechanisms involved in
sensory behavior which are potentially relevant to human diseases. While utilities of …
