Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) as a well-established multicellular model organism has been widely used in the biological field for half century. Its numerous advantages including small body size, rapid life cycle, high-reproductive rate, well-defined anatomy, and conserved genome, made C. one of most successful organisms. Discoveries obtained from have great contributions to research field...

This book is a collection of review papers presented at a meeting held at Squaw Valley, California in the summer of 1964. Most of them are concerned with methods of chemical physics as applied to biological problems. The exception is an excellent article on molecular genetics by F. Gros, entitled "The Cell Machinery." It does not include, however, the recent work on the genetic code by Khorana....

More than a century ago, it was proposed that mechanical forces could drive tissue formation. However, only recently with the advent of enabling biophysical and molecular technologies are we beginning to understand how individual cells transduce mechanical force into biochemical signals. In turn, this knowledge of mechanotransduction at the cellular level is beginning to clarify the role ofmech...

JCB • VOLUME 212 • NUMBER 7 • 2016 744 Sophie Dumont is modest when speaking about her own accomplishments, even though she has studied with some of the best and most creative minds in biophysics and cell biology. But it was a lowly breakdown of her Volkswagen hatchback in graduate school that steered her toward studying biophysics at the cell biology level. As a graduate student with Carlos Bu...

Abstract Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a promising neuromodulation therapy, but the neurophysiological mechanisms of DBS remain unclear. We performed high-speed membrane voltage fluorescence imaging individual hippocampal CA1 neurons during delivered at 40Hz or 140Hz, free electrical interference, in awake mice. discovered that reliably depolarizes somatic potentials without suppressing spike...
