This study characterizes TLR gene diversity in elasmobranchs, identifying lineage-specific duplications and losses, and links TLRs to immune gene-rich genomic regions.

This study identifies TEP-1 as a glial thioester protein essential for cilia organization and intraflagellar transport in C. elegans, linking it to AMD and EODM pathogenesis through ciliary dysfunction.

This study shows CFH and its C. elegans homolog CFH-1 regulate IFT52/OSM-6 and CNG channel localization in sensory neurons, linking CFH dysfunction to AMD-related ciliary defects.
