Funding thanks DBT and India Alliance. Umer et al have found a role for the neuropeptide FLP-15 in worm foraging. Thanks to all authors and our collaborators @monikakscholz.bsky.social lab. https://www.nature.com/articles/s42003-026-10188-x07 May 2026 16:21 +0000at://did:plc:dcf7ipz4rerrc6mim2ycmtcd/app.bsky.feed.post/3mlbmpbxut22chttps://bsky.app/profile/kavita-babu.bsky.social/post/3mgmury2w6s2tThank you @biopatrika.bsky.social for spotlighting Navneet's work.

Congratulations to all the authors Nisha, Sharveri, Dimple and collaborators Sarıtekin and Aşkın Kocabaş. We show that calsyntenin mutants in C. elegans show a collective swarming behaviour. https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.252002912321 Feb 2026 14:12 +0000at://did:plc:dcf7ipz4rerrc6mim2ycmtcd/app.bsky.feed.post/3mfesjklxy22ohttps://bsky.app/profile/kavita-babu.bsky.social/post/3lz2c5ehdec2hCool story by Atal et al from Abhishek's lab at @ncbsbangalore.bsky.social.
