This study identifies TGFβ and serotonin signaling pathways that regulate oocyte precursor proliferation and germline aging in C. elegans.

This study shows serotonin signaling improves oocyte quality in C. elegans and D. melanogaster, suggesting a conserved role in germline health and potential therapeutic applications.

This study identifies a serotonin-mediated neuronal circuit in C. elegans that coordinates reproductive functions, including germline proliferation and oocyte quality.

The paper shows that egg activation triggers the degradation of maternally deposited RNA binding proteins via the ubiquitin-proteasome system, mediated by Kondo and CTLH ligase.
