The endoplasmic reticulum promotes microtubule organization and region-specific disassembly to execute Compartmentalized Cell Elimination

Karen Juanez, Hannah Selvarathinam, Madison Jones, Piya Ghose

The paper investigates how the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and microtubule severase SPAS-1/Spastin coordinate to execute Compartmentalized Cell Elimination (CCE) in C. elegans, revealing ER-dependent microtubule organization and disassembly.
