Major congratulations to our fearless leader and team captain Susan Dutcher @dutcherlab.bsky.social for being elected to the National Academy of Sciences! 🙌 Another big win for #cilia biology!!

Excited for an inspiring meeting in France 🇫🇷 on #cilia and #centrosomes! The German #cilia community is en route—let’s connect and share science!

Philippe Bastin's Lab@bastinlab.bsky.social · last yr.

Dear cilia researchers, join us in the heart of the beautiful Vosges mountains to share your latest findings! This year, partnership with @for5547.bsky.social and keynote lectures by @micromotility.bsky.social and @mick-lab.bsky.social Registration is now open www.cfc2025.conferences-pasteur.org

📣Thrilled to announce that the registration for the 8th annual Czech #Cilia #Meeting (17 June 2025, #Brno) is NOW OPEN: 🪧https://forms.gle/wkooViZtBGxvVASNA 👩‍🔬INVITED SPEAKER: Ruxandra Bachmann-Gagescu ⏱️Registration deadline: 17 May 2025

Cilia has been at the center of our discussions at the spring school of our @for5547.bsky.social cilia consortium. In total there were 26 trainees from across Europe, few PIs and our brilliant coordinator Christina Klausen.

Happy faces and a lot of sunshine at the start of our Spring School on #cilia dynamics! @jayccblab.bsky.social @nathaliejuya.bsky.social @mick-lab.bsky.social @wachtenlab.bsky.social Looking forward to three days of interactions with early career researchers from our cilia network partners!

FOR5547 members @ GRC Cilia & Mucus meeting - great talk by @walenteklab.bsky.social about Foxi1 #cilia

We invite you to submit your latest research to our special issue - Cilia and Flagella: from Basic Biology to Disease. This issue will be coordinated by two Guest Editors: Pleasantine Mill @cilialab.bsky.social and Lotte Pedersen @lottepedersen.bsky.social. journals.biologists.com/jcs/pages/ci...

New paper! journals.plos.org/plosbiology/... Postdoc extraordinaire @ireneon.bsky.social got to the bottom of a particularly vexing conundrum: The GPCR melanocortin receptor 4 (MC4R) is barely detectable in cilia, yet its localization to cilia is absolutely critical to body weight homeostasis.

Great to see our #FOR5547 members present the research performed on #cilia in our research unit and congratulations to @wachtenlab.bsky.social 🎉
