Environmental enrichment-adding complexity to the usually simplistic conditions under which laboratory animals are raised-offers a potential tool for better understanding biological traits while maintaining controlled laboratory conditions. For the model nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, the contrast between the natural environment and the laboratory conditions in which they are raised is enormous. Although several methods have been developed in an effort to complexify C. elegans laboratory conditions, there is still a need for an enriched controlled laboratory habitat in which C. elegans can be raised over several generations, the bacterial food availability is similar to that in traditional agar plates, and the animals are crawling as opposed to swimming or burrowing. To this end, we describe here a standardized protocol for creating controlled, reproducible, three-dimensional environments for multigenerational maintenance of C. elegans in the laboratory. These environments are derived from decellularized apple hypanthium tissue and have bacterial food uniformly distributed throughout. We also describe how traditional C. elegans methods of collecting synchronized eggs, cleaning contaminated stocks, and collecting animal populations are adapted to our scaffold environment. These methods can be adapted to host different bacteria or bacterial populations, and the resulting scaffolds can be used in a range of experimental designs for behavioral and phenotypical studies in C. elegans and other nematodes. © 2021 The Authors.

Murine models have contributed critical information on mechanisms of disease and prospective therapeutics. The key features that have been used to study the disease include the development of anti-nuclear autoantibodies (ANAs), splenomegaly, and kidney disease. The loss of tolerance and subsequent autoimmune features, and the progression to severe disease, are all dependent on immune dysregulation. In this article, we will describe the methods used to evaluate the underlying immunological features of the disease, as a more sensitive strategy to understand the disease itself and the mechanisms of potential novel therapeutics. © 2021 The Authors.
