The paper identifies three C. elegans genes critical for synapse formation and maturation with GABAergic neurons through genetic screening.

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 investigates how MIG-6/papilin and TGF-β signaling interact to regulate extracellular matrix remodeling and neuronal architecture maintenance.

This study identifies MIG-6/papilin as a regulator of neuronal architecture maintenance by remodeling collagen IV in the extracellular matrix, ensuring neuronal stability under mechanical stress.

This paper identifies DVE-1 as a transcriptional regulator that directs synapse elimination during GABAergic circuit remodeling in C. elegans by controlling the ubiquitin-proteasome system.

This study investigates the role of lin-42 and kin-20 in the circadian clock of C. elegans using a bioluminescence reporter, showing they regulate the period length through neuronal cells.

This study shows that Syndecan, an HSPG, regulates the number of cellular projections in C. elegans excretory canal cells through interactions with Netrin guidance receptors and Rho-family GTPases.

This study shows that cleaved SAX-7S fragments, not full-length protein, maintain neuronal architecture in C. elegans after development.
