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

An "unbiased" screen for genes involved in opioid tolerance relied upon tiny worms called C. elegans. The worm genetics revealed PTCHD1 plays a key role, altering cholesterol in cell membranes.

Then, using a confocal microscope, the scientists filmed how ... "Since the neural circuits of C. elegans are thought to be relatively well conserved among individuals, we had assumed that there ...

Scientists built a microfluidic lab-on-a-chip device that accelerates compound screens and phenotype analyses in C. elegans models of reproductive aging. Deanna earned their PhD in cellular biology ...
