Abstract excerpt
The C. elegans hypodermis is a single epithelial cell layer separated from the musculature by a thin basement membrane on its basal surface. The hypodermis secretes the extracellular material of the cuticle from its apical surface. The regulation of cuticle synthesis and apical secretion is not well understood. UNC-95 is a component of the muscle dense bodies and M-lines, which are integrin-based adhesion...
