A C. elegans model for functional analysis of ADPKD variants in cilia, extracellular vesicles, and sensory signaling

Juan Wang, Carlos Nava Cruz, Jonathon D. Walsh…·Maureen M. Barr

This paper uses a C. elegans model to functionally classify an ADPKD variant, showing it acts recessively by disrupting polycystin complex function.

Ciliary intrinsic mechanisms regulate dynamic ciliary extracellular vesicle release from sensory neurons

Juan Wang, Josh Saul, Inna A. Nikonorova…·Maureen M. Barr

This study identifies ciliary intrinsic mechanisms that regulate dynamic extracellular vesicle release from sensory neurons in C. elegans, showing that KLP-6 and TTM-5 are required for sustained release.
