This study identifies new functions of SEM-2/SoxC in C. elegans postembryonic mesoderm development, including its antagonistic relationship with LET-381 and regulation of HLH-8.

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.

This study identifies SMOC-1's dual role in regulating BMP signaling through interactions with glypican and BMP in C. elegans.

This study identifies DRAG-1 as a repulsive guidance molecule involved in axon branching of HSNs in C. elegans, showing its requirement in hypodermal cells and interaction with UNC-40 receptor.

This study identifies SMOC-1 as a positive modulator of BMP signaling in C. elegans, showing it acts cell non-autonomously and is evolutionarily conserved.
