PCMD-1 stabilizes the PCM scaffold and facilitates centriole separation
Centrosome stability is essential for spindle bipolarity. Schreiner et al. show that CDK-1 primes PCMD-1 for PLK-1 phosphorylation. Mutations in PLK-1 dock

New findings help to explain why it has been so challenging to predict brain signaling from the connectome alone.

Worms help untangle brain structure/function mystery
The synaptic connectome of most animals bears little resemblance to functional brain maps, but it can still predict neuronal activity, according to two preprints that tackle the puzzle in C. elegans.

Plugging invisible gaps in the synaptic connectome
Two new maps of the roundworm nervous system detail how neurons communicate with short proteins called neuropeptides outside synapses.
