The paper identifies Y16 phosphorylation as a conserved switch controlling Ena/VASP recruitment to actin assembly sites, using cell-based reconstitution and biochemical assays.

The paper uses AI-assisted imaging and gene silencing to identify key proteins regulating epithelial tissue mechanics and their roles in cancer.

The paper shows capping protein regulates actin network assembly balance in C. elegans zygotes by modulating competition between filopodia and mini-comets.

The paper shows that dysfunction in maternal scavenger cells disrupts systemic RNA homeostasis, leading to transgenerational germline tumors in C. elegans.

The paper identifies a collagen expression switch in C. elegans distal tip cells that regulates migration cessation during gonad development.

The paper presents a stage-specific transcriptomic dataset of C. elegans distal tip cells, identifying molecular programs driving leader cell invasion and revealing new genes involved in this process.

This study shows that TWF-2, a twinfilin ortholog in C. elegans, modulates actomyosin contractility in the spermatheca by regulating F-actin levels.

This paper develops a genetically encoded biosensor for dynamically monitoring PTEN activity in living cells and tissues with high spatial and temporal resolution.

This study shows that cold temperatures and lithium salt delay forgetting of olfactory memories in C. elegans by modulating membrane properties and the diacylglycerol pathway in specific neurons.

The paper shows that transgenerational small RNA inheritance in C. elegans can occur independently of germ granules in some mutants, but depends on ancestral germ granule function and HRDE-1.
