Congratulations to Sharon, Yael, Alba, Hagar, Meital and Michael for the paper showing that mechanosensory experience alters the PVD’s dendritic architecture in the adult and affects associated behavioral outputs.

Mechanosensory isolation of C. elegans nematodes independently induces homeostatic structural changes in the dendritic tree and differential response to mechanical stimulation, both these structural...

The PVD neuron has male-specific structure and mating function in C. elegans . Congratulations to Yael Iosilevskii for her story about the highly arborized PVD neuron in males. The PVD is sexually dimorphic and it has a novel function in copulation.

A potential new assay for male infertility? Thanks to the amazing work lead by Nicolas Brukman and Clari Valansi we now have a way to test the capacity of sperm to fuse.

A study has revealed a potential new method to test the capacity of sperm to induce cell fusion, which could be used to diagnose male fertility issues.
