This study identifies EOR-1/PLZF as a regulator of WAH-1/AIF, which sequentially promotes non-apoptotic corpse removal during development.

The paper investigates the role of mitochondrial transport by kinesin motors in preventing localized calcium spiking and caspase-dependent cell death during specialized elimination in C. elegans neurons.

The paper identifies a cell-cell adhesion-driven signaling pathway that promotes phagosome closure during programmed cell death in C. elegans.

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.

The paper investigates how stress affects developmental cell clearance in C. elegans, finding that SQST-1/p62 promotes SKN-1/Nrf-mediated transcription of lyst-1/LYST to enhance phagocytic resolution under heat stress.
