Stereotypical interciliary contacts in a C. elegans sense organ

Nikhila Krishnan, Samantha Leslie, Hannah Lawson, Yu-Ming Lu, Leland Wexler, Kirsten Judge, Maxwell G. Heiman, Piali Sengupta

The paper shows that cilia in C. elegans form stereotyped interciliary contacts independent of physical proximity, suggesting instructive mechanisms guide these interactions.

Neuron-intrinsic and glial pathways regulate sensory cilia regeneration in adult C. elegans

Kirsten Judge, Alison Philbrook, Stephen Nurrish, Samantha Leslie, Laura Grunenkovaite, Yu-Ming Lu, Piali Sengupta

This study shows that sensory neuron cilia in adult C. elegans can regenerate after injury, involving both cell-intrinsic and glial pathways distinct from developmental ciliogenesis.
