C. elegans: An elegant experimental system for the study of cilia biology Caenorhabditis elegans is a genetically tractable organism that has become one of the leading in vivo models for cilia research. Cilia are not require…

My fabulous colleague (and ex-postdoc) @inechipurenko.bsky.social and I (mostly Inna!) wrote a review extolling the many virtues of C. elegans for the study of cilia biology. A really interactive and collaborative community of people working in this field too.

The nucleus is fantastic, but can it beat #cilia and #flagella 😉 here stained for tubulin (magenta) with an intraflagellar transport train (green) after #expansion microscopy and #STED or shown by classic TEM. JCS @jcellsci.bsky.social found the solution and is featuring both! 😍

People with Centrosome and Cilia interests: Jeremy Magescas and I are organizing a workshop about our favorite organelles! Discussing about novel approaches and discoveries in the field, with a panel discussion with the invited speakers (Wanying Tian, Juan Wang, Kirsten Judge and Jessica Feldman).

Come join me talking about how cilited mechanosensory neurons rebuild their ciliated sensory endings after these are shed different times during postembryonic development.
My talk is an example of how much we can learn from discoveries made decades ago, but have never been further explored! #worm25

A mystery for an olfactory expert:

We did brain clearing and lightsheet imaging. There should be no fluorophore in olfactory bulb (viruses in frontal cortex!) yet puncta in green and red channels. Puncta did not colocalize with NeuN (blue). Any idea?

Machine learning picking these up as 'cells' 😮‍💨

In 1975 "Bohemian Rhapsody" and "Space Oddity" were on the UK top 100, and Ward, Thomson, White, and Brenner published the first reconstruction of the C. elegans sensory anatomy.

A short 50 years later, we reconstructed the same neurons and glia in the embryo:
