Vertebrate #Hedgehog signaling is transduced by transmembrane protein Smoothened (SMO) on the primary #cilium, but what is its mechanism? @reitergroup.bsky.social &co show that SMO & ciliary GPCRs regulate ciliary PKA activity to activate the Hedgehog pathway @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4v7vdnp
Cilia and Centrosome 2026 Meeting Update: We have extended the abstract deadline until June 23! Submit yours today to join a fantastic scientific program!
The Thermo Fisher situation keeps getting worse. We've now collected 450+ problematic images presented as verification data in TF's antibody catalog. This includes:
🖌️ Dozens more images with duplications or painting
🖨️ Hundreds of blots that all share the same background (behold slideshow below)
Paying peer reviewers works.
Expanded Fast & Fair experiment @biologyopen.bsky.social:
• 5.5 vs 37.7 working days to decision with reviews
• ~3 vs ~9 reviewer invitations per manuscript
• no reduction in editor-assessed review quality
• similar acceptance rates

Very excited to be sharing our new paper, just out in Nature Cell Biology!
The big question we investigate: How do migrating cells put their front 🔴 and back 🔵 in the right place?

1 week to start🔥
New @focalplane.bsky.social webinar series focused on #CellMigration, register & join us▶️, it will be fun!
pls spread the word, in the next one, ECRs could apply to show their work ;)
