A robotic system capable of imaging and transferring the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans could replace hours of tedious lab work, according to a recent study. Health is wealth as the saying ...

Researchers at the University of Nottingham have created an endoscopic device that can 3D image the stiffness of individual biological cells and complex organisms, a discovery that could help doctors ...

A key protein expressed in epithelial “skin” cells plays a critical role in protecting the structure and function of cells in ...

So Sherwood’s team studies a similar process in millimeter-long transparent worms called Caenorhabditis elegans. During a worm’s development, a specialized cell called the anchor cell must break ...

Simulating animals is not a new idea; one years-long effort, OpenWorm, is trying to replicate the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans on a computer. What’s particularly innovative about the DeepMind ...
