The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans has emerged as an important animal model in
various fields including neurobiology, developmental biology, and genetics. Characteristics …

We designed a real-time computer vision system, the Multi-Worm Tracker (MWT), which can
simultaneously quantify the behavior of dozens of Caenorhabditis elegans on a Petri plate at …

Background Caenorhabditis elegans locomotion is a simple behavior that has been widely
used to dissect genetic components of behavior, synaptic transmission, and muscle function …

This paper describes a new microfluidic platform for screening drugs and their dose
response on the locomotion behavior of free living nematodes and parasitic nematodes. The …

Mitochondria are essential components of eukaryotic cells, carrying out critical physiological
processes that include energy production and calcium buffering. Consequently …

This Review discusses the potential usefulness of the worm Caenorhabditis elegans as a
model organism for chemists interested in studying living systems. C. elegans, a 1 mm long …

C. elegans is used extensively as a model system in the neurosciences due to its well
defined nervous system. However, the seeming simplicity of this nervous system in …

The transparent nematode Caenorhabditis elegans can sense UV and blue-violet light to
alter behavior. Because high-dose UV and blue-violet light are not a common feature …

Metabolic stress due to nutrient excess and lipid accumulation is at the root of many age-
associated disorders and the identification of therapeutic targets that mimic the beneficial …
