This study presents the cryo-EM structure of the C. elegans γ-TuRC, revealing how it templates 11-protofilament microtubules through a divergent 4-spoked assembly.

This study identifies SAX-1/NDR kinase's role in stress-induced and developmental dendrite pruning in C. elegans, revealing branch-specific elimination mechanisms.

The paper identifies axonal cytoskeletal responses to mechanical forces and shows that mechanotransduction signaling is critical for axonal integrity.

This paper introduces genetically encoded mechano-sensors using coiled coils to measure mechanical forces in vivo with diverse readouts and compact design.

The paper identifies mitochondria as the transport vehicle for ribosomes to dendrites in C. elegans sensory neurons, showing that MIRO-1 is required for this process.

The paper shows axonal mitochondria regulate dynamic actin through reactive oxygen species, essential for electrical synapses and gentle touch response in C. elegans.

The paper identifies VAB-8/KIF26 as a key molecule mediating synaptic cargo delivery at microtubule minus-ends, linking Neurexin and Frizzled signaling to synapse formation in C. elegans.
