The paper compares three F-actin probes in C. elegans, finding mStayGold offers best brightness and photostability, while mNeonGreen is suitable for photobleaching applications.

The paper systematically maps the localization of 49 actin-binding proteins during C. elegans gastrulation to understand their roles in apical constriction.

The paper identifies that Rac-mediated WAVE and Arp2/3 basolateral recruitment drives apical constriction during C. elegans gastrulation.

This paper introduces a paintbrush method that significantly increases C. elegans microinjection efficiency by improving injection speed and survival rates.

The paper introduces NanoDam, a method for tissue-specific transcription factor profiling in C. elegans using endogenous GFP-tagged TFs and nanobody-Dam fusions, identifying novel targets in specific cell types.

The paper investigates how NHR-67 and Groucho regulate the switch between proliferative and invasive states in C. elegans uterine cells.

The paper shows that BAF and PBAF SWI/SNF complexes differentially regulate cell cycle arrest and invasion in C. elegans anchor cells.

The paper introduces an engineered auxin analog and AtTIR1(F79G) pair to improve the specificity and efficacy of the auxin degradation system in C. elegans.

The paper introduces new tools for the auxin-inducible degron system in C. elegans, enabling conditional protein depletion through CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing.

The paper introduces a CDK sensor to distinguish cycling cells from terminally differentiated cells in C. elegans and zebrafish, revealing commitment points and stochasticity in cell cycle control.

The paper identifies a gene regulatory network in C. elegans anchor cell invasion, showing how transcription factors function differently before and after specification.

This paper improves the AID system in C. elegans for single-cell protein degradation using NAA and demonstrates its application in developmental studies.
