The paper shows that cilia in C. elegans form stereotyped interciliary contacts independent of physical proximity, suggesting instructive mechanisms guide these interactions.

The paper identifies a glial attachment mechanism in C. elegans neurons that affects cilia morphology and function.

The paper identifies a multivalent adhesion complex in glia that promotes dendrite extension through interactions involving SAX-7/L1CAM, MAGI-1, HMR-1/Cadherin, and AFD-1/Afadin.

The paper reconstructs and analyzes C. elegans sense organs from a high-resolution EM dataset to infer developmental steps in glial and neuronal morphogenesis.

The paper identifies and compares cell-type-specific promoters for C. elegans glia, highlighting variability and plasticity, and proposes a method to discover novel promoters using single-cell data.
