The paper identifies 3' nucleotide asymmetry as a key factor in miRNA strand selection, showing its role in guiding the loading of the guide strand into miRISC in C. elegans and human cells.

This study identifies a neural circuit involving HIF-1, serotonin, and other signaling molecules that extends lifespan in C. elegans through hypoxia-induced pathways.

This study shows that fmo-4 in C. elegans extends lifespan and stress resistance by regulating calcium homeostasis through interactions with known longevity pathways.
