The C. elegans LIM homeobox gene lin-11 specifies multiple cell fates during vulval development [PDF]
, 2003 LIM homeobox family members regulate a variety of cell fate choices during animal development. In C. elegans, mutations in the LIM homeobox gene lin-11 have previously been shown to alter the cell division pattern of a subset of the 2° lineage vulval ...

The effect of ice-binding proteins on the cryopreservation of Caenorhabditis elegans
microPublication biology, 2023 Ice-binding proteins (IBPs) are capable of binding ice crystals and inhibiting their growth. IBPs have also been reported to stabilize cell membranes under non-freezing conditions. The effects of IBPs help to reduce cold- and freezing-induced damage to cells and tissues in cryopreservation.

Homologous and unique G protein alpha subunits in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans [PDF]
, 1991 A cDNA corresponding to a known G protein alpha subunit, the alpha subunit of Go (Go alpha), was isolated and sequenced. The predicted amino acid sequence of C. elegans Go alpha is 80-87% identical to other Go alpha sequences.

Neuronal calmodulin levels are controlled by CAMTA transcription factors
eLife, 2021 The ubiquitous Ca2+ sensor calmodulin (CaM) binds and regulates many proteins, including ion channels, CaM kinases, and calcineurin, according to Ca2+-CaM levels. What regulates neuronal CaM levels, is, however, unclear.

Microtubule-dependent ribosome localization in C. elegans neurons. [PDF]
, 2017 Subcellular localization of ribosomes defines the location and capacity for protein synthesis. Methods for in vivo visualizing ribosomes in multicellular organisms are desirable in mechanistic investigations of the cell biology of ribosome dynamics. Here,

Nanodiamond Quantum Sensors for Probing Free Radical Biology
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Free radicals play key roles in cellular signaling and disease but remain difficult to measure in living systems. Nanodiamonds (NDs) with nitrogen‐vacancy (NV) centers enable quantum sensing of local magnetic noise via T₁ relaxometry, providing nondestructive radical detection in living cells.

TbUNC119 and its binding protein complex are essential for propagation, motility, and morphogenesis of Trypanosoma brucei procyclic form cells. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 Flagellum-mediated motility of Trypanosoma brucei is considered to be essential for the parasite to complete stage development in the tsetse fly vector, while the mechanism by which flagellum-mediated motility is controlled are not fully understood.

Genetic Suppression of Basement Membrane Defects in Caenorhabditis elegans by Gain of Function in Extracellular Matrix and Cell-Matrix Attachment Genes. [PDF]
, 2018 Basement membranes are extracellular matrices essential for embryonic development in animals. Peroxidasins are extracellular peroxidases implicated in the unique sulfilimine cross-links between type IV basement membrane collagens. Loss of function in the

Paving the Way to Elucidate Hg's Role in Tumorigenesis
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Tumorigenesis can result from diverse environmental carcinogens. Among them, mercury—a lifelong bioaccumulative Group 2B carcinogen—has tumorigenic potential that remains poorly understood due to confounding co‐exposures and limited organ‐specific data.
