This valuable study introduces a self-supervised machine learning method to classify C. elegans postures and behaviors directly from video data, offering an alternative to the skeleton-based ...

My lab investigates how the genome dictates development using C. elegans as a model. Stunning movies captured in the lab of computational biologist Zhirong Bao reveal how cells divide, grow, and move ...

On Thursday April 1, the Department of Biology hosted Niels Ringstad, professor in the Department of Cell Biology at the New ...

Showing that the popular model system C. elegans could be used to screen small molecules for amyloid binders is an exciting breakthrough in the pursuit of treatments for diseases linked to amyloids.

The researchers sought the simplest method to apply mechanical stress for the microscopic nematode worm model organism C. elegans. They grew animals on a surface created to be four times stiffer ...

Studying simple organisms reveals how cancerous cells move differently from healthy ones, opening new doors to diagnosis and ...

We use the short-lived model organism C. elegans, which shares many aging traits, including deficits in learning and memory, with humans to study this problem. The lab uses an interdisciplinary ...

We have engineered C. elegans to express human beta amyloid peptide ... changes resulting from beta amyloid expression in this model system, in hopes of understanding the cellular and molecular ...
