A Series of Tubes: The <i>C. elegans</i> Excretory Canal Cell as a Model for Tubule Development

Formation and regulation of properly sized epithelial tubes is essential for multicellular life. The excretory canal cell of <i>C. elegans</i> provides a powerful model for investigating the integration of the cytoskeleton, intracellular transport, and organismal physiology to regulate t...
