The paper identifies miRNA-mediated regulatory mechanisms that generate left-right neuronal asymmetry in Pristionchus pacificus by rewiring terminal-selector networks.

The paper characterizes monoaminergic neurons in Pristionchus pacificus, identifying conserved and novel patterns of neurotransmitter expression and function in behaviors like host-finding and dispersal.

The paper shows that nematodes use left/right asymmetric neurons to process salt cues, revealing evolutionary changes in gustatory systems despite limited neuron numbers.

This paper introduces embGAN, a deep learning pipeline for automated cell detection and tracking in label-free 3D time-lapse imaging without manual annotation.

This study shows that temperature influences mouth-form plasticity in Pristionchus pacificus through daf-11-dependent cGMP signaling involving DAF-11, DAF-25, and TAX-2.

This paper identifies mutations in P. pacificus that disrupt steroid hormone regulation of developmental diapause, molting, and olfactory behavior.

The paper compares the neuroanatomy and connectivity of the chemosensory system in two nematode species, finding conservation in neuronal number and position but divergence in ciliary morphology and synaptic wiring.

The paper identifies a host pheromone that induces terminal embryogenesis in nematodes by permeabilizing their eggshells, revealing a mechanism for host-nematode interaction regulation.
