Nanoparticle Technique Measures Bite Force of Tiny C. elegans Worms: Ground-breaking Contribution to Cell Forces Knowledge

In a breakthrough study, scientists have developed a novel nanoparticle-based technique to measure the tiny worms’ bite force. Called Caenorhabditis elegans, this new methodology, even though involving one of the most humble organisms, does have far-reaching implications for cellular mechanics, ranging from human touching to wound healing and carcinogenesis. This work brings together knowledge from…
