This study identifies UNC-51/UNC-76-mediated vesicular transport as essential for eliminating transient electrical synapses during neural circuit maturation in C. elegans.

The paper shows mitochondria organize gap junctions during neural circuit growth by positioning mitochondria to recruit microtubule components, enabling coordinated neurite redistribution and electrical transmission.

The paper compiles and analyzes 190 marine invertebrate genomes to explore their diversity, function, and evolutionary relationships.

This study presents three Osteoglossidae genomes to explore ancient teleost evolution, revealing divergence times and genomic changes linked to continental drift and dietary adaptations.
