This study shows germ granules in C. elegans act as stress-responsive hubs that reorganize RNA granule networks to protect germ cell viability during heat stress.

This study identifies RNA Helicase A as a regulator of small RNA biogenesis and sorting in C. elegans germ cells, showing its role in protecting endogenous mRNAs from silencing and maintaining fertility.

The paper identifies direct targets of the terminal selector UNC-3 in C. elegans motor neurons and shows that its function is temporally modular, with distinct roles in maintaining neuronal identity across life stages.
