"We found that the gene
lin-11, which encodes a LIM domain transcription factor[18] and is expressed in VC motor neurons (G. Acton, S.C. and H.R.H. unpublished observations), was also expressed in the undead VC-equivalent cells (W.ap, P1.aap, P2.aap and P9-12.aap) of a
ced-3 mutant (Fig. 1a, b), suggesting that these undead cells adopted a VC-like fate."
