This study shows that lysosome-related organelle genes are necessary for mitochondrial remodeling during bacterial infections in C. elegans and drive downstream infection-response gene expression.

This study shows that lipocalin LPR-1 and scavenger receptor SCAV-2 have opposing roles in maintaining the apical extracellular matrix of narrow tubes in C. elegans.

The paper shows that glycopolymer transferases in Bacillus subtilis regulate peptidoglycan hydrolysis by affecting the activity of PG hydrolases.

The paper shows that reduced synMuv B gene activity in C. elegans enhances RNA interference against viral infection.

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.

This study shows that the ZPc domain of LET-653 in C. elegans is primarily responsible for aECM assembly and tissue shaping, contradicting current models that emphasize the ZPn domain.

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.
