Pluronic gel-based burrowing assay for rapid assessment of neuromuscular health in <i>C. elegans</i>

2019-05-09

Abstract excerpt

Whole-organism phenotypic assays are central to the assessment of neuromuscular function and health in model organisms such as the nematode C. elegans . In this study, we report a new assay format for engaging C. elegans in burrowing that enables rapid assessment of nematode neuromuscular health. In contrast to agar environments that pose specific drawbacks for characterization of C. elegans burrowing ability,...
