PHA-4/FoxA controls the function of pharyngeal and extrapharyngeal enteric neurons of C. elegans

Zion Walker, Wen Xi Cao, Eduardo Leyva‐Díaz, Mayeesa Rahman, Surojit Sural, Michelle A. Attner, Oliver Hobert

This study shows that PHA-4/FoxA is required for the terminal differentiation and lifelong function of multiple enteric neuron types in C. elegans.

Gut epithelium modifies enteric behaviors during nutritional adversity via distinct peptidergic signaling axes

Surojit Sural, Zion Walker, Oliver Hobert

The paper shows midgut epithelial cells in C. elegans regulate feeding and defecation behaviors by modulating neuropeptidergic signaling to the enteric nervous system under different nutritional conditions.

A neurotransmitter atlas of C.elegans males and hermaphrodites

Chen Wang, Berta Vidal, Surojit Sural, Curtis M. Loer, G. Robert Aguilar, Daniel M. Merritt, Itai Antoine Toker, Merly C. Vogt, Cyril Cros, Oliver Hobert

The paper creates a comprehensive neurotransmitter atlas in C. elegans by analyzing CRISPR/Cas9 knock-in reporter strains, revealing new expression sites and co-expression patterns.

DAF-16/FoxO and DAF-12/VDR control cellular plasticity both cell-autonomously and via interorgan signaling

Ulkar F. Aghayeva, Abhishek Bhattacharya, Surojit Sural, Eliza C.B. Jaeger, Matthew A. Churgin, Christopher M. Fang-Yen, Oliver Hobert

The paper shows that DAF-16/FoxO and DAF-12/VDR control cellular plasticity both cell-autonomously and through interorgan signaling in C. elegans.

HSB-1 inhibition and HSF-1 overexpression trigger overlapping transcriptional changes to promote longevity in Caenorhabditis elegans

Surojit Sural, Tzu‐Chiao Lu, Seung Ah Jung, Ao‐Lin Hsu

The paper shows that inhibiting HSB-1 and overexpressing HSF-1 in C. elegans lead to overlapping transcriptional changes that promote longevity.
