This study shows that lipocalin LPR-1 and scavenger receptor SCAV-2 have opposing roles in maintaining the apical extracellular matrix of narrow tubes in C. elegans.

This study shows that the idh-1neo mutation in C. elegans increases dependency on one-carbon metabolism, making the worms vulnerable to vitamin B12 deficiency and leading to embryonic lethality.

The paper shows how actin and a provisional matrix work together to shape acellular ridges in C. elegans cuticle through transient actomyosin constriction and matrix patterning.

The paper describes the dynamic apical extracellular matrix in C. elegans vulva, showing its role in shaping the lumen through distinct molecular components and genetic regulation.
