The paper shows how transient morphogenetic structures and stochastic innervation models shape reproducible yet flexible wiring in C. elegans nervous systems through a trade-off between physical constraints and molecular specificity.

The paper identifies a glial attachment mechanism in C. elegans neurons that affects cilia morphology and function.

The paper develops a human urothelial organoid model to study urine-urothelium interactions in UTI resilience and UPEC recurrence, finding that high-solute urine weakens tissue and promotes CWD UPEC formation.

This study identifies tanycytes as glial cells that prune synapses in the hypothalamus, affecting metabolism and body weight control.

The paper identifies Annexin A1-containing extracellular vesicles from tanycytes that regulate thermogenesis and energy balance by modulating microglial and neuronal functions in obesity.

The paper reconstructs and analyzes C. elegans sense organs from a high-resolution EM dataset to infer developmental steps in glial and neuronal morphogenesis.

The paper uses volume electron microscopy techniques to study ultrastructural changes in germline intercellular bridges during Drosophila oogenesis, revealing new structural features and developmental patterns.

The paper shows that a sex-specific genetic switch in a single C. elegans glial cell patterns the apical extracellular matrix into a specific pore structure.

The paper investigates how stem cell progeny in Drosophila intestinal epithelium acquire barrier-forming structures through a transient niche, enabling their integration into the epithelial barrier.

This study shows autophagy is essential for maintaining CNS myelin homeostasis by degrading myelin proteins like PLP and MBP in oligodendrocytes.

The paper develops a cross-modality image alignment method to integrate EM and fluorescence imaging data in C. elegans, revealing dynamic cell behaviors during nervous system development.

The paper shows multicellular rosettes organize the nerve ring neuropil in C. elegans by guiding axon outgrowth and structural formation.

The paper studies how neurons and glia in C. elegans develop epithelial-like structures, showing they share properties and mechanisms with other epithelia.
