Reciprocal E-cadherin signaling aligns apical surfaces between neighboring epithelial tissues to complete the C. elegans digestive tract

Lauren E. Cote, Maria D. Sallee, Rachel K. Ng, Melissa A. Pickett, Jérémy Magescas, Jessica L. Feldman

This study identifies the rectal valve cells in C. elegans that use E-cadherin signaling to align apical surfaces between the intestine and rectum, completing the digestive tract.

Apical PAR complex proteins protect against epithelial assaults to create a continuous and functional intestinal lumen

Maria D. Sallee, Melissa A. Pickett, Jessica L. Feldman

The paper shows that apical PAR complex proteins are essential for maintaining epithelial integrity during intestinal development in C. elegans by preventing gaps that block the lumen.

Visualizing the metazoan proliferation-terminal differentiation decision in vivo

Rebecca C. Adikes, Abraham Q. Kohrman, Michael A. Q. Martinez, Nicholas J. Palmisano, Jayson J. Smith, Taylor N. Medwig-Kinney, Mingwei Min, Maria D. Sallee, Ononnah B. Ahmed, Nuri Kim, Simeiyun Liu, Robert D. Morabito, Nicholas Weeks, Qinyun Zhao, Wan Zhang, , David Q. Matus

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.
