    ..These results identify a transcriptional circuit that guides the rapid aging process in C. elegans and indicate that this circuit is driven by drift of developmental pathways rather than accumulation of damage. ..

    ..This work indicates that, as in other organisms, the regulation of Hox gene expression in C. elegans is complicated, redundant and robust. ..

    ..By examining the fusion state and division patterns of the cells in the developing vulva of nT1 mutants, we demonstrate that egl-18/elt-6 prevent fusion and promote cell proliferation at multiple steps of vulval development. ..
