    ..Our findings suggest that Wnt and Src signaling function in parallel to control developmental outcomes within a single responding cell. ..

    ..These results provide insight into how polarity cues are transmitted into specific spindle positions in both extrinsic and intrinsic pathways of asymmetric cell division. ..

    ..Thus, our results demonstrate that P. aeruginosa infection results in neurodegeneration phenotypes in C. elegans that are controlled by the germ line in a cell-nonautonomous manner. ..

    ..Our results suggest that MES-1 directly positions the developing mitotic spindle and its associated P granules within P(2) and P(3), or provides an orientation signal for P(2)- and P(3)-specific events. ..
