This study identifies DAF-16/FOXO's role in repressing let-7 microRNA and NHR-23 to maintain multipotency during dauer in C. elegans.

The paper shows how actin and a provisional matrix work together to shape acellular ridges in C. elegans cuticle through transient actomyosin constriction and matrix patterning.

The paper identifies a feedback loop between NHR-23 and let-7 microRNAs that regulates molting cycles in C. elegans by controlling cycle frequency and number.

The paper describes the dynamic apical extracellular matrix in C. elegans vulva, showing its role in shaping the lumen through distinct molecular components and genetic regulation.

The paper describes how non-canonical apical constriction in C. elegans shapes cuticle matrices through dynamic interactions between actomyosin and provisional sheath structures.
