Apical extracellular matrices (aECMs) coat the exposed surfaces of animal bodies to shape
tissues, influence social interactions, and protect against pathogens and other …

Abstract Characterization of the in vivo behavior of nanomaterials aims to optimize their
design, to determine their biological effects, and to validate their application. The …

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) may mediate intercellular communication by carrying protein
and RNA cargo. The composition, biology, and roles of EVs in physiology and pathology …

The counterbalancing action of the endocytosis and secretory pathways maintains a
dynamic equilibrium that regulates the composition of the plasma membrane, allowing it to …

Apical extracellular matrices (aECMs) form a physical barrier to the environment. In
Caenorhabditis elegans, the epidermal aECM, the cuticle, is composed mainly of different …

The Caenorhabditis elegans epidermis forms one of the principal barrier epithelia of the
animal. Differentiation of the epidermis begins in mid embryogenesis and involves apical …

The excretory system of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is a superb model of tubular
organogenesis involving a minimum of cells. The system consists of just three unicellular …

To sense the outside world, some neurons protrude across epithelia, the cellular barriers
that line every surface of our bodies. To study the morphogenesis of such neurons, we …

The nematicidal activity of selected aromatic aldehydes was tested against the root knot
nematode Meloidogyne incognita. The most active aldehyde was phthalaldehyde (1) with an …

Background Ascaris lumbricoides and Ascaris suum are socioeconomically important and
widespread parasites of humans and pigs, respectively. The excretory-secretory (ES) …
