Getting signals crossed in C. elegans

Curr Opin Genet Dev. 2000 Oct;10(5):523-8. doi: 10.1016/s0959-437x(00)00122-2.

Abstract

The induction of an appropriate cellular response to a stimulus often depends on the intricate interplay between multiple signaling pathways. Recent work utilizing Caenorhabditis elegans has enabled the identification of points of convergence between signaling pathways and permitted the elucidation of how multiple signals work in concert to ensure a proper response.
