Worms under Pressure: Bulk Mechanical Properties of C. elegans Are Independent of the Cuticle.

Biophysical journal - 21 Apr 2015

Gilpin William, Uppaluri Sravanti, Brangwynne Clifford P

Abstract excerpt

The mechanical properties of cells and tissues play a well-known role in physiology and disease. The model organism Caenorhabditis elegans exhibits mechanical properties that are still poorly understood, but are thought to be dominated by its collagen-rich outer cuticle. To our knowledge, we use a novel microfluidic technique to reveal that the worm responds linearly to low applied hydrostatic stress, exhibiting...
