- Description
Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) is a powerful model for the study of nervous system development. This study investigated mechanisms required for the development of C. elegans sensory neurons, BAGs. C. elegans express many insulin-like peptides (ILPs), which are released from BAGs, throughout the nervous system. It is found that the p38 MAP kinase PMK-3 that is required for the differentiation of...
