The paper shows that Piezo-dependent detection of matrix stiffness generates transient cells that repair basement membrane damage in Drosophila.

This study identifies RHO-1 and RHGF-1 as negative regulators of growth cone protrusion and microtubule accumulation, acting downstream of UNC-6/Netrin signaling in C. elegans.

This paper investigates how UNC-6/Netrin and its receptors UNC-5 and UNC-40/DCC regulate growth cone polarity, microtubule organization, and protrusion during axon guidance in C. elegans.

This study identifies FMO-1, FMO-4, FMO-5, and EHBP-1 as new factors downstream of UNC-6/Netrin and Rac GTPases that inhibit growth cone protrusion during repulsive axon guidance in C. elegans.
