SID-2 is a conserved extracellular vesicle protein that is not associated with environmental RNAi in parasitic nematodes

In the free-living nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, the transmembrane protein SID-2 imports double-stranded RNA into intestinal cells to trigger systemic RNA interference (RNAi), allowing organisms to sense and respond to environmental cues such as the presence of pathogens. This process, known as e...
