The paper evaluates and combines four epitope-based labeling systems for live-imaging of endogenous proteins in C. elegans, showing their effectiveness and advantages over direct labeling.

The paper identifies a novel fungal peptide from Ophiocordyceps that binds to scramblase channels in ants, disrupting motor coordination and olfactory systems.

The paper uses a modified translation imaging system to study erm-1 mRNA localization and its role in ERM-1 function during C. elegans development, showing that localized translation is critical for proper protein function.

The paper introduces the mIAA7 degron, which enhances auxin-mediated protein degradation efficiency in C. elegans, with some improvements in leakiness when combined with the C.e.AID2 system.

The paper develops a live-cell imaging assay to study how mRNA structures affect AGO2-siRNA interactions and mRNA degradation.
