Forward Genetics Identifies <i>ptr-18</i> and Other Genes as Developmental Regulators of the Four-Cell Tail Tip in <i>C. elegans</i>

2025-08-21

Abstract excerpt

In C. elegans , the epidermis and its overlying extracellular matrix form a primary protective barrier, functioning as the first line of defense against environmental factors. To properly develop those cellular boundaries, a tightly controlled interaction of many molecules and pathways is needed. Mutant alleles of paqr-2 and iglr-2 (lipid homeostasis), dpy-21 (membrane trafficking), and sma-1 (actin-binding s...
