    Specific sensory neurons and insulin-like peptides modulate food type-dependent oogenesis and fertilization in Caenorhabditis elegans

    Shashwat Mishra, Mohamed Dabaja ... Joy Alcedo
    On different bacterial diets, which also serve as different environments for Caenorhabditis elegans, specific sensory neurons and insulin-like peptides integrate food-derived signals to modulate oocyte biology, and hence reproduction.

    ROM1 is redundant to PRPH2 as a molecular building block of photoreceptor disc rims

    Tylor R Lewis, Mustafa S Makia ... Muna I Naash
    The photoreceptor tetraspanin protein ROM1 contributes to the formation of light-sensitive 'disc' membranes, but it can be functionally replaced by an excess of its homologous binding partner PRPH2.
