This study shows that newer insecticides like flupyradifurone cause dopaminergic neurodegeneration in C. elegans, marked by dendritic blebbing and oxidative stress, which can be mitigated by antioxidants or genetic interventions.

The paper identifies specialized high-capacity mitochondria in C. elegans anchor cells that generate elevated ATP to fuel basement membrane invasion.

This study identifies MOZT, a mitophagy process at the oocyte-to-zygote transition, which removes damaged mitochondria and preserves mitochondrial health, ensuring species continuity.

The paper investigates how collagen and DDR-2 signaling coordinate integrin adhesion between adjacent tissues in C. elegans.

The paper describes a mounting protocol for live imaging of C. elegans larvae and adults using light sheet fluorescence microscopy.

The paper identifies hemicentin and fibulin-1 as initiators of basement membrane-BM linkage and shows type IV collagen strengthens this linkage during mechanical stress in C. elegans.
