Electrotactic Movement of a Wild Type Adult Nematode <i>C. elegans</i> (VIDEO)
Caption
Researchers at McMaster University have developed a way to propel and direct microscopic-sized worms (C. elegans nematodes) along a narrow channel using a mild electric field. The discovery opens up significant possibilities for developing high-throughput micro screening devices for drug discovery and other applications. This collaborative work, carried out by groups in Biology and Engineering, has been published in the journal Lab On A Chip.
