A receptor tyrosine kinase regulated by the transcription factor VAB-3/PAX6 pairs with a pseudokinase to trigger immune signalling upon oomycete recognition in C. elegans

This study identifies receptor tyrosine kinase OLD-1 and pseudokinase FLOR-1 as key components of oomycete recognition in C. elegans, regulated by VAB-3/PAX-6 and forming a genetic cluster with chil genes.

Single-shot phase contrast microscopy using polarisation-resolved differential phase contrast

The paper introduces a single-shot differential phase microscopy technique using a polarisation-sensitive camera to simultaneously acquire images for phase gradient and quantitative phase calculations.
