The C. elegans uv1 neuroendocrine cells provide direct mechanosensory feedback of vulval opening
Lijie Yan, Alexander Claman, Addys Bode, Kevin M. Collins
This paper shows that C. elegans uv1 neuroendocrine cells directly respond to mechanical activation, using L-type Ca2+ channels, without requiring synaptic or peptidergic signals.
