Chemosensory neurons translate perception of external chemical cues, including odorants,
tastants, and pheromones, into information that drives attraction or avoidance motor …

Caenorhabditis elegans has been proven to be a useful model organism for investigating
molecular and cellular aspects of numerous human diseases. More recently, investigators …

To quantitatively understand chemosensory behaviors, it is desirable to present many
animals with repeatable, well-defined chemical stimuli. To that end, we describe a …

This article describes the fabrication of a microfluidic device for the liquid culture of many
individual nematode worms (Caenorhabditis elegans) in separate chambers. Each chamber …

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

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 …

A thorough understanding of nerve regeneration in Caenorhabditis elegans requires
performing femtosecond laser nanoaxotomy while minimally affecting the worm. We present …

Plant-parasitic nematodes cause substantial damage to agricultural crops worldwide. Long-
term management of these pests requires novel strategies to reduce infection of host plants …

Small animals such as nematodes and insects analyze airborne chemical cues to infer the
direction of favorable and noxious locations. In these animals, the study of navigational …

Equipped with its 302-cell nervous system, the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans adapts its
locomotion in different environments, exhibiting so-called swimming in liquids and crawling …
