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

This study shows that NPxY motifs in C. elegans pat-3 β integrin modulate serotonin sensitivity and mechanosensation by affecting vulval contraction and neurotransmitter levels.

The paper shows that nuclear contact and positioning enhance basement membrane invasion efficiency in C. elegans anchor cells.

This study identifies the CAP domain of LON-1 as critical for its function in regulating body size and BMP signaling in C. elegans, showing it binds sterol rather than fatty acid.
