An automated microfluidic platform for C. elegans embryo arraying, phenotyping, and long-term live imaging

Martinus Adela Maria Gijs, Johan Auwerx, Thomas Lehnert, Matteo Cornaglia, Laurent Mouchiroud, Alexis Pierre Henri Marette, Virginija Jovaisaite

Studies of the real-time dynamics of embryonic development require a gentle embryo handling method, the possibility of long-term live imaging during the complete embryogenesis, as well as of parallelization providing a population's statistics, while keepin ...

Cellular hallmarks reveal restricted aerobic metabolism at thermal limits

Pierre Gönczy, Coralie Busso, Aitana Neves da Silva

All organisms live within a given thermal range, but little is known about the mechanisms setting the limits of this range. We uncovered cellular features exhibiting signature changes at thermal limits in Caenorhabditis elegans embryos. These included chan ...

The Caenorhabditis elegans protein SAS-5 forms large oligomeric assemblies critical for centriole formation

Pierre Gönczy, Georgios Hatzopoulos

Centrioles are microtubule-based organelles crucial for cell division, sensing and motility. In Caenorhabditis elegans, the onset of centriole formation requires notably the proteins SAS-5 and SAS-6, which have functional equivalents across eukaryotic evol ...

Merging microfluidics and micro-array concepts: from molecular to nematode-based bioassays

Matteo Cornaglia

Essential in biomedical research is the necessity of gathering statistically relevant data about large populations of specific biological entities, e.g. organisms, cells or molecules, while preserving detailed information about each single entity under in ...

An automated microfluidic platform for long-term high-resolution imaging of C. elegans

Martinus Adela Maria Gijs, Johan Auwerx, Thomas Lehnert, Matteo Cornaglia, Laurent Mouchiroud, Govindan Narayanan Krishnamani, Marie-Pierre Meurville, Gopalan Hariharan Krishnamani

We describe a microfluidic platform for the automated culture, treatment and long-term highresolution imaging of Caenorhabditis elegans nematodes under normal physiological conditions. Our device features: (i) a microfluidic design tailored for the isolati ...

PP2A Phosphatase Acts upon SAS-5 to Ensure Centriole Formation in C. elegans Embryos

Pierre Gönczy, Debora Keller

Centrosome duplication occurs once per cell cycle and ensures that the two resulting centrosomes assemble a bipolar mitotic spindle. Centriole formation is fundamental for centrosome duplication. In Caenorhabditis elegans, the evolutionarily conserved prot ...

Selective Visualization of Fluorescent Sterols in Caenorhabditis elegans by Bleach-Rate-Based Image Segmentation

Daniel Sage

The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is a genetically tractable model organism to investigate sterol transport. In vivo imaging of the fluorescent sterol, dehydroergosterol (DHE), is challenged by C. elegans' high autofluorescence in the same spectral regio ...

XuvTools: free, fast and reliable stitching of large 3D datasets

Alessandra Griffa

Current biomedical research increasingly requires imaging large and thick 3D structures at high resolution. Prominent examples are the tracking of fine filaments over long distances in brain slices, or the localization of gene expression or cell migration ...

Coupling the cell cycle to development

Pierre Gönczy

The core machinery that drives the eukaryotic cell cycle has been thoroughly investigated over the course of the past three decades. It is only more recently, however, that light has been shed on the mechanisms by which elements of this core machinery are ...

Lensless high-resolution on-chip optofluidic microscopes for Caenorhabditis elegans and cell imaging

Demetri Psaltis

Low-cost and high-resolution on-chip microscopes are vital for reducing cost and improving efficiency for modern biomedicine and bioscience. Despite the needs, the conventional microscope design has proven difficult to miniaturize. Here, we report the impl ...
