WDR47 facilitates ciliogenesis by modulating intraflagellar transport

This study identifies WDR47/NMTN-1 as a key regulator of ciliogenesis in C. elegans AWB neurons, showing its role in intraflagellar transport and ciliary function.

CASK and FARP localize two classes of post-synaptic ACh receptors thereby promoting cholinergic transmission

This study identifies CASK and FARP as scaffolding proteins that localize post-synaptic ACh receptors, enhancing cholinergic transmission in C. elegans.

Male pheromones modulate synaptic transmission at the C. elegans neuromuscular junction in a sexually dimorphic manner

This study shows that male pheromones in C. elegans enhance hermaphrodite cholinergic synaptic transmission at the neuromuscular junction, affecting locomotion and mating efficiency.
