Addressable light-induced heat knockdown (aLINK) for caenorhabditis (C.) elegans immobilization

研究成果: Conference contribution

摘要

Caenorhabditis (C.) elegans is an intriguing model animal. Often times, researchers may need to silence the squirming worms and brought them to various measurements. Here we present a method to rapidly silence the tiny animal by sublethal light-induced heat in a special microfluidic chip. The worm's neural functions are temporarily shut down when a threshold temperature is reached. The neural functions can be resumed once the heat is removed. A safe operating range as to inducing heat knockdown was investigated. The finding showed that well-controlled heat knockdown is autonomous, reversible, and potential to worm immobilization.
