The team examined live embryos of C. elegans using two instruments invented at the MBL: the centrifuge polarizing microscope ...

Imagine a world where worms can hear. While it may sound like science fiction, researchers at the University of Michigan have discovered that the nematode C. elegans, a commonly studied model organism ...

Turin, Italy. She then moved to Switzerland and performed her doctoral studies on chromatin organization in the laboratory of Susan Gasser at the Swiss Institute for Experimental Cancer Research ...

When applied to 29 living C. elegans embryos, ranging from the 4- to 350-cell stages, 3DCSQ successfully identified and ...

The nematodes exhibit a variety of behaviors with their 302 neurons," Noma said. "C. elegans shares many genes and mechanisms with humans. So, we thought that the cause of the decline in brain ...

The digitized cellular 3D images 3DCSQ and the visualization of 17 compressed quantitative embryos as well as their ... focusing on the embryogenesis of C. elegans from the 4- to 350-cell stages.

Figure 2: A model for RNAi/PTGS/quelling. Several laboratories that study C. elegans have initiated genome-wide screens, based on an RNAi approach, to identify genes essential for completion of ...

Real-time microscopic imaging at high resolution is an essential approach we employ to observe the dynamic events of protein molecules and subcellular organelles during the clearance of dying cells ...
