TBK1 phosphorylates mutant Huntingtin and suppresses its aggregation and toxicity in Huntington's disease models

Johan Auwerx, Hilal Lashuel, Laurent Mouchiroud, Anass Chiki, Ramanath Narayana Hegde

Phosphorylation of the N‐terminal domain of the huntingtin (HTT ) protein has emerged as an important regulator of its localization, structure, aggregation, clearance and toxicity. However, validation of the effect of bona fide phosphorylation in vivo and ...

Automated high-content phenotyping from the first larval stage till the onset of adulthood of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans

Martinus Adela Maria Gijs, Johan Auwerx, Matteo Cornaglia, Laurent Mouchiroud, Hüseyin Baris Atakan

The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is increasingly used as a model for human biology. However, in vivo culturing platforms for C. elegans allowing high-content phenotyping during their life cycle in an automated fashion are lacking so far. Here, a multipl ...

Tissue- and sex-specific small RNAomes reveal sex differences in response to the environment

Pierre Gönczy, Laurent Keller, Alexandra Bezler, Frédéric Schütz

RNA interference (RNAi) related pathways are essential for germline development and fertility in metazoa and can contribute to inter- and trans-generational inheritance. In the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, environmental double-stranded RNA provided by ...

Aurora A depletion reveals centrosome-independent polarization mechanism in Caenorhabditis elegans

Pierre Gönczy, Coralie Busso, Lukas von Tobel, Christian Gentili, Marie Juliette Ségolène Pierron, Kerstin Klinkert Fabbri

How living systems break symmetry in an organized manner is a fundamental question in biology. In wild-type Caenorhabditis elegans zygotes, symmetry breaking during anterior-posterior axis specification is guided by centrosomes, resulting in anterior-direc ...

Automated Platform for Long-Term Culture and High-Content Phenotyping of Single C. elegans Worms

Martinus Adela Maria Gijs, Johan Auwerx, Matteo Cornaglia, Laurent Mouchiroud, Elena Katsyuba, Hüseyin Baris Atakan, Rongrong Xiang

The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is a suitable model organism in drug screening. Traditionally worms are grown on agar plates, posing many challenges for long-term culture and phenotyping of animals under identical conditions. Microfluidics allows for ' ...

Microfluidic and micromechanical in vivo studies of Caenorhabditis elegans

Roger Philippe Krenger

Caenorhabditis elegans is one of the most attractive model organisms in biomedical research for understanding human diseases and for drug testing at a whole-organism level, since many biological pathways and genes have been conserved between itself and hum ...

The Detection of Early Epigenetic Inheritance of Mitochondrial Stress in C. Elegans with a Microfluidic Phenotyping Platform

Martinus Adela Maria Gijs, Johan Auwerx, Matteo Cornaglia, Hüseyin Baris Atakan, Kevin Sebastiaan Hof

Fluctuations and deterioration in environmental conditions potentially have a phenotypic impact that extends over generations. Transgenerational epigenetics is the defined term for such intergenerational transient inheritance without an alteration in the D ...

Long-term imaging, automated high-content phenotyping and sorting of C. elegans larvae and embryos using microfluidic platforms

Hüseyin Baris Atakan

C. elegans is frequently studied to address fundamental biological questions motivated by its short life cycle, small size, hermaphrodite behavior and well-annotated genome. In this work, we present novel microfluidic platforms that support long-term cultu ...

Multimodal imaging and high-throughput image-processing for drug screening on living organisms on-chip

Michaël Unser, Martinus Adela Maria Gijs, Johan Auwerx, Matteo Cornaglia, Laurent Mouchiroud, Daniel Migliozzi, Virginie Sophie Uhlmann

A major step for the validation of medical drugs is the screening on whole organisms, which gives the systemic information that is missing when using cellular models. Caenorhabditis elegans is a soil worm that catches the interest of researchers who study ...

Integration of microfluidics and multimodal optics for translational bioanalytics

Daniel Migliozzi

Numerous analytical techniques for life sciences have been at the basis of the improvement of medical diagnostics and treatments. Current challenges in bioanalytics are related to the conception of methods enabling large amount of information to be extract ...

8-Channel Single Embryo Pipette For Accurate C-Elegans Bioassays

Martinus Adela Maria Gijs, Thomas Lehnert, Li Dong

The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) is a powerful model organism for addressing fundamental biological questions related to human disease and aging. Accurate control of the number of worms is a primary step for quantitative biological or bioch ...

Microfluidic high-content phenotypic screening on a Caenorhabditis elegans model

Maria Cristina Letizia

Caenorhabditis elegans is a performant model system for studying human biological processes and diseases and for pre-clinical phenotyping screenings of compounds. Microfluidics has been instrumental in enabling C. elegans-based drug assays, facilitating th ...
