The paper identifies muscle and intestine innexins and Deg/Enac channels that coordinate muscle activity and promote embryo elongation in C. elegans.

This study shows how muscle contractions and anisotropic tension drive polarized elongation of epidermal adherens junctions in C. elegans embryos.

This study shows that non-muscle myosins NMY-1 and NMY-2 are required for late C. elegans embryonic elongation through redundant roles in epidermal remodeling.

The paper uses CRISPR to study the role of VAB-10's plakin domain in mechanotransduction during C. elegans morphogenesis, showing its importance in hemidesmosome function and embryonic elongation.

This study investigates how stiffness and force anisotropies contribute to embryonic elongation in C. elegans using experimental and modeling approaches.
