Acute thermal stress and various heavy metals induce tissue-specific pro-or anti-apoptotic events via the p38-MAPK signal transduction pathway in Mytilus …

E Kefaloyianni, E Gourgou, V Ferle… - Journal of …, 2005 - journals.biologists.com
We investigated the effects of various heavy metals such as copper, zinc and cadmium, as
well as acute thermal stress, on the signalling mechanisms involved in the protection and/or …

[PDF][PDF] Caenorhabditis elegans learning in a structured maze is a multisensory behavior

E Gourgou, K Adiga, A Goettemoeller, C Chen, AL Hsu - Iscience, 2021 - cell.com
We show that C. elegans nematodes learn to associate food with a combination of proprioceptive
cues and information on the structure of their surroundings (maze), perceived through …

[HTML][HTML] Chemically induced oxidative stress affects ASH neuronal function and behavior in C. elegans

E Gourgou, N Chronis - Scientific Reports, 2016 - nature.com
Oxidative stress (OS) impact on a single neuron’s function in vivo remains obscure. Using C.
elegans as a model organism, we report the effect of paraquat (PQ)-induced OS on wild …

[HTML][HTML] A mathematical and computational model of the calcium dynamics in Caenorhabditis elegans ASH sensory neuron

E Mirzakhalili, BI Epureanu, E Gourgou - PloS one, 2018 - journals.plos.org
We propose a mathematical and computational model that captures the stimulus-generated
Ca 2+ transients in the C. elegans ASH sensory neuron. The rationale is to develop a tool …

[HTML][HTML] Rate of recovery from perturbations as a means to forecast future stability of living systems

A Ghadami, E Gourgou, BI Epureanu - Scientific reports, 2018 - nature.com
Anticipating critical transitions in complex ecological and living systems is an important need
because it is often difficult to restore a system to its pre-transition state once the transition …

[HTML][HTML] Three-dimensional arenas for the assessment of Caenorhabditis elegans behavior

…, LYL Tse, K Barton, E Gourgou - International Journal of …, 2022 - ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
Caenorhabditis elegans nematode is a well-established model organism in numerous fields
of experimental biology. In nature, C. elegans live in a rich three-dimensional (3D) …

[HTML][HTML] On-Demand Isolation and Manipulation of C. elegans by In Vitro Maskless Photopatterning

CR Oliver, E Gourgou, D Bazopoulou, N Chronis… - Plos one, 2016 - journals.plos.org
Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) is a model organism for understanding aging and studying
animal behavior. Microfluidic assay techniques have brought widespread advances in C…

[HTML][HTML] The Effect of Internalized Paramagnetic Nanoparticles on Caenorhabditis elegans Locomotion in the Presence of Magnetic Field

E Gourgou, E Mirzakhalili, Y Zhang… - Journal of …, 2023 - hindawi.com
Caenorhabditis elegans nematodes are broadly used to investigate the impact of
environmental factors on animal physiology and behavior. Here, C. elegans with internalized …

A journey to 'tame a small metazoan organism', seen through the artistic eyes of C. elegans researchers

E Gourgou, AR Willis, S Giunti, MJ De Rosa… - Journal of …, 2020 - Taylor & Francis
In the following pages, we share a collection of photos, drawings, and mixed-media creations,
most of them especially made for this JoN issue, manifesting C. elegans researchers’ …

[HTML][HTML] Synaptic impairment and robustness of excitatory neuronal networks with different topologies

E Mirzakhalili, E Gourgou, V Booth… - Frontiers in neural …, 2017 - frontiersin.org
Synaptic deficiencies are a known hallmark of neurodegenerative diseases, but the diagnosis
of impaired synapses on the cellular level is not an easy task. Nonetheless, changes in …
