Population selection and sequencing of C. elegans wild isolates identifies a region on chromosome III affecting starvation resistance

Pervasive positive and negative feedback regulation of insulin like signaling in Caenorhabditis elegans

The paper investigates feedback regulation in the C. elegans insulin-like signaling network during state transitions, revealing widespread positive and negative feedback mechanisms.

Ral signals through a MAP4 Kinase-p38 MAP kinase cascade in C. elegans cell fate patterning.

The paper identifies a Ral-dependent signaling cascade in C. elegans that transduces lower EGF doses to promote 2° vulval precursor cell fate.

Developmental fidelity imposed by the RGL-1 balanced switch mediating opposing signals

This study identifies RGL-1 as a balanced switch that coordinates opposing signals to ensure developmental fidelity in C. elegans vulval precursor cells.

Intergenerational effects of dietary restriction on insulin/IGF signaling and reproductive development

This study investigates how maternal dietary restriction affects reproductive development in C. elegans by modulating insulin/IGF signaling, reducing starvation-induced abnormalities in progeny.

Perception of environmental polypeptides in C. elegans activates insulin/IGF signaling and alters lipid metabolism

The paper shows that food perception in C. elegans activates insulin/IGF signaling and alters lipid metabolism, but this response is harmful if feeding does not occur.
