This study shows EGFR signaling is essential for efferocytosis in C. elegans and zebrafish, with EGF acting as an engulfment signal.
Ana Cristina Laranjeira, Simon Berger, Tea Kohlbrenner…·Alex Hajnal
This study shows that vitamin B12 regulates RAS/MAPK-mediated cell fate decisions in C. elegans through one-carbon metabolism, with conserved effects in mammalian cells.

The paper shows that cell size predicts physiological germ cell death in C. elegans, regulated by actomyosin contractility at apical rachis bridges.

The paper identifies a reciprocal EGFR signaling mechanism in the C. elegans anchor cell that ensures precise alignment and connection between the uterus and vulva during development.
Simon Berger, Silvan Spiri, Andrew J. deMello, Alex Hajnal
This paper introduces a microfluidic imaging method for long-term, stable, and parallel live-imaging of C. elegans larval development, enabling observation of previously inaccessible processes.

The paper identifies EGFR signaling in the RIS neuron and its indirect activation via the ALA neuron as mechanisms for sleep induction following cellular stress in C. elegans.

The paper identifies eQTLs in C. elegans that modulate Ras/MAPK signaling, revealing genetic modifiers that are not detectable in single genetic backgrounds.
