Bénédicte Durand discusses Shan Wang, Xin Liang et al.’s new study in @jcb.org (doi.org/10.1083/jcb....) which describes how the motor protein Kif19A shapes the tips of fly mechanosensory #cilia. rupress.org/jcb/article-...
Bravo and thank you to Riley, Mavrick and Conard for the generous gift! 🙏
You're in great hands with the @horanilab.bsky.social !!

Stentors are fascinating trumpet-shaped protozoa that can be seen with the naked eye. Their synchronized cilia create water currents to capture food effortlessly.
Our preprint about Togaram1 mouse knockout brain phenotypes is on bioRxiv! This is a model of Joubert Syndrome ciliopathy caused by loss of Togaram1 (aka Crescerin1 aka FAM179B). Primary #cilia defects in neural stem cells. Neurogenesis, mitotis, apoptosis, morphogenesis phenotypes! #cellbio
CenSpark story is now published in @natchembio.nature.com. We engineered a dual-ligand fluorescent probe to selectively "light up" centrioles & cilia. Massive thank to Pierre Gönczy, @lreymond.bsky.social and @ghatzopoulos.bsky.social for the guidance. Check it out 👉: doi.org/10.1038/s415...

Today I was deeply touched. Riley, chose to forgo her birthday gifts and instead ran a fundraiser to support #PCD research to help her brothers, Mavrick and Conard, and thousands more like them. I turly appreciate their generous donation to the @horaniLab for PCD research.
