EECS Area V Professor Mehmet Fatih Yanik (right) with EECS graduate students (from left) Matthew Angel and Chris Rohde discussing their newly devised technique to render the long-studied C. elegans worm--one of the tiniest multicellular organisms known--in a motionless state for long enough (several minutes) to conduct 3-D imaging at sub-cellular resolution. The team's unique way to immobilize the animals while they are still awake and with unprecedented stability also makes high-resolution laser nanosurgery on the animals possible. Advances such as these will ultimately help researchers better undertand the genetic underpinnings of regeneration in the nervous system in higher vertebrate organisms including humans. That in turn, could help in treatments of neural injuries and diseases such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's.
