چکیده
Laser killing of cell nuclei has long been a powerful means of examining the roles of individual cells in C. elegans. Advances in genetics, laser technology, and imaging have further expanded the capabilities and usefulness of laser surgery. Here, we review the implementation and application of currently used methods for target edoptical disruption in C. elegans.

Automated high-throughput cell microsurgery on-chip.
Laser cell kill is an established tool for studying cells' roles during development and behavior, but its use has been limited due to the manual and low-throughput nature. We demonstrate here a technique combining multiplexing microfluidic manipulation of Caenorhabditis elegans and software for image processing and automation, allowing for high-throughput cell ablations.
متن کاملSubcellular in vivo time-lapse imaging and optical manipulation of Caenorhabditis elegans in standard multiwell plates.
High-resolution in vivo time-lapse assays require repeated immobilization and imaging of whole animals. Here we report a technology for screening Caenorhabditis elegans at cellular resolution over its entire lifespan inside standard multiwell plates using repeated immobilization, imaging and optical manipulation. Our system does not use any fluidic or mechanical components, and can operate for ...

متن کاملThe neural circuit for touch sensitivity in Caenorhabditis elegans.
The neural pathways for touch-induced movement in Caenorhabditis elegans contain six touch receptors, five pairs of interneurons, and 69 motor neurons. The synaptic relationships among these cells have been deduced from reconstructions from serial section electron micrographs, and the roles of the cells were assessed by examining the behavior of animals after selective killing of precursors of ...
متن کاملFormation of the vulva in Caenorhabditis elegans: a paradigm for organogenesis.
The genes involved in the inductive interactions that specify cell fates in the vulva of Caenorhabditis elegans are known in some detail. However, little is known about the morphogenesis of this organ. Using a combination of cell biological and anatomical approaches, we have determined a complete morphogenetic pathway of cellular events that lead to the formation of the vulva. These events incl...
