This study shows that cell cycle perturbation allows post-mitotic cells to maintain invasive behavior without exiting the cell cycle.

This paper introduces a FLP-ON::TIR1 system for precise spatiotemporal protein degradation in C. elegans, showing it can drive efficient target protein degradation in specific cell types.

The paper reevaluates the relationship between EGL-43 and LIN-12 in C. elegans anchor cell invasion using a novel co-expression system and finds that LIN-12 is not required for AC proliferation after EGL-43 loss.
