πŸ₯³ Our new paper on C2CD3 is out in @plosbiology.org
With the labs of @cellarchlab.com , @chgenoud.bsky.social , and @stearnslab.bsky.social , we revealed the mammalian centriole Distal Ring architecture by combining #UExM and in situ #CryoET.
Big congrats to @ebertiaux.bsky.social and all involved.

KIF13B controls ciliary protein content by promoting endocytic retrieval and suppressing release of large extracellular vesicles from cilia Rezi et al. show that kinesin-3 KIF13B regulates ciliary protein content by promoting endocytic retrieval and small extracellular vesicle (EV) release of ciliary proteins while suppressing their relea...

Thrilled to share our new paper on the in vivo BioID of neuronal cilia πŸ§¬πŸŒ€
This is the first look at the signaling power of neuronal primary cilia in the mature mouse brain.
Huge thanks to @sarahgoetz.bsky.social and amazing collaborators for making this possible! πŸ™

Mentoring is the most important thing most of us can do. Here is a 🧡about what I've learned as a PI running an academic research lab. I hope some of the advice is helpful to those who are just starting their labs and to folks hitting the academic job market in search of an independent position πŸ§ͺ 1/n
