Investigating the Role of NCAM-1 and Profilin-2 in Synaptic Re-modeling During Neural Development in C. elegans
This study examines how proteins, Profilin-2 and NCAM-1, play a role in regulating the synaptic remodeling process in restructuring neurons during neural development in C. elegans, offering insight into intracellular mechanisms that shape functional neural circuits.

Development of “Parkinson’s-like” disease in C. elegans Using Dextrose and a 6-OHDA Neurotoxin
Dextrose increased the neurotoxicity of the neurotoxin, 6-OHDA, in C. elegans in testing the development of “Parkinson’s-like” disease.
