An intestinal sphingolipid promotes neuronal health across generations

The paper shows that maternal diet-induced intestinal sphingolipid biosynthesis reduces neurodegeneration in offspring across generations in C. elegans.

Diet-responsive Transcriptional Regulation of Insulin in a Single Neuron Controls Systemic Metabolism

The paper shows that ETS-5 in C. elegans BAG neurons regulates INS-1 expression, linking neuronal activity to systemic metabolism through diet-induced changes.

Atypical TGF-beta Signaling Controls Neuronal Guidance in Caenorhabditis elegans

The paper identifies an atypical TGF-beta signaling pathway in C. elegans that regulates neuronal guidance through SMA-6 and NLR-1 interactions.

Harmonization of L1CAM Expression Facilitates Axon Outgrowth and Guidance of a Motor Neuron

The paper shows that CTBP-1 represses SAX-7/L1CAM to regulate SMD motor neuron axon development, with LAD-2 acting as a parallel factor in axon guidance.
