Structural Basis of GABAB Receptor Activation during Evolution
This study explores the structural and functional mechanisms of the drosophila GABAB receptor, a key role in neurotransmission. Using cryo‐EM, the research reveals how the receptor's activation differs from its human counterpart, highlighting unique evolutionary features.

CeNDR, the Caenorhabditis elegans natural diversity resource
Studies in model organisms have yielded considerable insights into the etiology of disease and our understanding of evolutionary processes. Caenorhabditis elegans is among the most powerful model organisms used to understand biology. However, C.

The Multilayer Connectome of Caenorhabditis elegans
Connectomics has focused primarily on the mapping of synaptic links in the brain; yet it is well established that extrasynaptic volume transmission, especially via monoamines and neuropeptides, is also critical to brain function and occurs primarily outside the synaptic connectome.

A supramolecular fluorescent probe, TPE‐4B/4Q[7], was designed to target lysosomes. The restriction of intramolecular rotation effect mediated by Q[7] enhances the fluorescence of TPE‐4B/4Q[7], enabling selective detection of Fe3+ with a detection limit of 1.23 × 10⁻⁶ M.

Binucleation ramps up gene expression meeting the physiological demands of an organism
In this issue of PLOS Biology, van Rijnberk and colleagues show how polyploidy, via binucleation, enables Caenorhabditis elegans intestinal cells to ramp up gene expression supplying the oocytes with the necessary lipids for optimal organismal growth and

Deep Learning‐Assisted Coherent Raman Scattering Microscopy
The analytical capabilities of coherent Raman scattering microscopy are augmented through deep learning integration. This synergistic paradigm improves fundamental performance via denoising, deconvolution, and hyperspectral unmixing. Concurrently, it enhances downstream image analysis including subcellular localization, virtual staining, and clinical ...

Prereplication complex proteins get caught moonlighting
In this issue of PLOS Biology, Lattmann and colleagues report a new function for proteins of the DNA prereplication complex promoting the anchor cell to invade through the basement membrane and initiate vulval development in Caenorhabditis elegans.

To study the molecular basis for predator-prey coevolution, we investigated how Caenorhabditis elegans responds to the predatory fungus Arthrobotrys oligospora. C. elegans and other nematodes were attracted to volatile compounds produced by A. oligospora.

Spatiotemporal regulation of autophagy during Caenorhabditis elegans aging
Autophagy has been linked to longevity in many species, but the underlying mechanisms are unclear. Using a GFP-tagged and a new tandem-tagged Atg8/LGG-1 reporter, we quantified autophagic vesicles and performed autophagic flux assays in multiple tissues ...

Two New Cases Expand the Phenotypic Spectrum of TUBG1 Missense Variants
ABSTRACT The gamma‐tubulin ring complex (γ‐TuRC) plays a role in coordinating centrosome and spindle pole body formation during cell division. TUBG1 encodes a critical component of the γ‐TuRC. Pathogenic TUBG1 variants can cause a range of alterations in cortical gyral patterning, microcephaly, and other neurological manifestations.
