The paper shows that GCY-9 in C. elegans carbon dioxide sensing neurons primes mitochondrial stress response to enhance metabolic resilience under starvation.

The paper shows that GABA inhibits and acetylcholine promotes the mitochondrial stress response in C. elegans intestine via a neuro-intestinal circuit.

This paper develops a tool to conditionally degrade UNC-31 in C. elegans to study neuropeptide function with spatiotemporal precision, revealing specific defects in egg-laying, locomotion, and vesicle release.

The paper shows that maternal diet-induced intestinal sphingolipid biosynthesis reduces neurodegeneration in offspring across generations in C. elegans.

The paper shows that ETS-5 in C. elegans BAG neurons regulates INS-1 expression, linking neuronal activity to systemic metabolism through diet-induced changes.
