A research team led by Professor Kim Kyuhyung at the Department of Brain Sciences, DGIST, has discovered a new principle that regulates how food moves through the digestive tract and is swallowed.

A) The structure of TLRs is characteristic of type ... The signaling system is conserved in the fruit fly Drosophila and the nematode C. elegans.

This valuable study shows that an odorant that is typically thought of as a repellant actually activates both attractant and repellant olfactory neurons in C. elegans. Solid evidence is provided that ...

In the case of neurons, their structure is particularly unique ... called UNC-75 in C. elegans and CELF in vertebrates. This mechanism is key to neuronal identity because it enables the selective ...

The results of this work reveal how an alternative splicing mechanism regulates an essential factor for neuronal identity.
