Yes! That is the best idea

Happy Halloween! Cilia can be spooky too 🎃

Super happy this work is out and included in the really interesting cilia and flagella focused issue!

Agreed! Great getting to chat! 😄

Save the date!! ✨🤩

Hahaha yes! I felt like I was betraying myself getting excited this week 😂

I am normally focused on photoreceptor cilia, but this week I worked with an amazing lung epithelial tissue model and I can see the #motilecilia appeal 🤩 so fascinating! Happy #fluorescencefriday everyone!

Thank you!! Great meeting you 😄

Really cool Moe!!! Can’t wait to hear 😃

Looking for a break from scientific reading, and want to delve into the realm of environmental philosophy? Check out this thought-provoking article by Charles Hayes published in Environmental Ethics. Interesting and insightful look into what my brother studies daily! www.pdcnet.org/enviroethics...

Bi-allelic variants in three genes encoding distinct subunits of the vesicular AP-5 complex cause hereditary macular dystrophy We discovered genetic changes in three genes (AP5Z1, AP5M1, and AP5B1) that cause macular degeneration, affecting sharp central vision. The proteins encoded by these genes form a complex that helps th...

New hope for inherited vision loss
IOB researchers (@karkam.bsky.social, @carlorivolta.bsky.social, @mquinodoz.bsky.social, @abimoye.bsky.social) identify AP5Z1, AP5M1, AP5B1 mutations, revealing new causes of macular dystrophy.

Thanks!

Early ciliogenesis occurs in CEP290-knockout photoreceptors. BUT our nano-scale ultrastructural analyses discovered alterations in the architecture of ciliary membrane complexes, including the Y-links and ciliary necklace that underlie cilium failure and neurodegeneration later in development.

e also provide the first comprehensive nanoscale localization of CEP290 in human rod and cone photoreceptor cells.

Excited to share our ✨preprint✨ from my work in Ted Wensel's lab! We present novel insights into the photoreceptor-specific roles of CEP290. 🧵👇 Thanks for the helpful participation from everyone involved, especially @mrobichaux.bsky.social and @agostolab.bsky.social! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Great gene editing study from a highly interdisciplinary team at @iobswiss.bsky.social. Congratulation to all authors, in particular Alissa Muller, Botond Roska & Bence György.
