Insulin and epidermal signals independently shape sexually dimorphic neurite branching in C. elegans | EMBO reports imageimageSexual state-regulated insulin signaling and vulval epithelial cues engage distinct pathways to remodel the F-actin cytoskeleton, thereby sculpting sexually dimorphic PVP branches that are i...

Our new study is published! We found that insulin pathway and vulval epithelial cells act separately for sexually dimorphic branching and behaviors in worms. It’s a neat example of how the body integrates sex, physiology, and environment to sculpt neural circuits.
