The Roles of daf-6 and Cell-Cell Interactions in Sensory Organ Morphogenesis
<p>The development of multicellular organs depends on the regulation of cell shape, position, and orientation. The genetic regulation of these morphogenetic processes is poorly understood. As a model for organ morphogenesis, I studied the development of the Caenorhabditis elegans amphid sensory …

Hedgehog - like Proteins are Involved in a Novel Glia - Neuron Signalling Pathway in C. elegans
<p>Complex organisms rely on their nervous systems to sense their environment, process the gathered information, and execute appropriate responses. Glia play essential roles in this information transduction, and glia-neuron communication regulates sensation at every step. But despite this …

IGDB-2, an IG/FNIII Protein, Binds the ION Channel LGC-34 and Controls Sensory Compartment Morphogenesis in C. Elegans
<p>Sensory organ glia surround neuronal receptive endings (NREs), forming a specialized extracellular space, or compartment, important for neuronal activity, and reminiscent of glia-ensheathed synapses in the central nervous system. Sensory organ glia are conserved across organisms, but our current …

Glia Are Required For Sensory Neuron Morphology And Function In Caenorhabditis elegans
… development and function we have studied the sensory organs of Caenorhabditis elegans because their anatomy and function are well-characterized. Specifically, we have focused on two aspects of sensory organs: how do glia interact with neurons to enable proper development and function and how …
