Microchip technology rapidly identifies compounds for regrowing nerves in live animals

Tuesday, October 12, 2010 - 21:40 in Biology & Nature

Engineers have now used a new microchip technology to rapidly test potential drugs on tiny worms called C. elegans, which are often used in studies of the nervous system. Using the new technology, scientists rapidly performed laser surgery, delivered drugs and imaged the resulting neuron regrowth in thousands of live animals.
