Cilia alert! Last year Juyeon Hong described a new domain in 9+2 cilia called the EDT, the extreme distal tip. Now, she's found a new protein required for its assembly, but only in non-mammalian vertebrates. A cool evo-cell / protein evolution story in @cellreports.bsky.social tinyurl.com/2xvdskx6
If you want to learn about cilia morphodynamics and software to study these, come to poster 67 ! Tonight and tonight only. #2026SDB @socdevbio.bsky.social
Vegas baby! We are presenting posters at #2026SDB @socdevbio.bsky.social. Stop on by to learn about our newest work with #cilia and #notochord

I'm excited to share that the International Consortium for Scoliosis Genetics and Development (ICSGDD) will hold our 2026 annual meeting in: 📍 Paris, France 📅 December 2, 2026 🔗 Learn more: icsgdd.org We welcome all with interest in spine development and scoliosis. #Scoliosis #SpineResearch
With the US and Mexico out, I’m now a Norway 🇳🇴 fan. Nu kör vi!
New preprint showing Adgrg6 and Sox9 genetically interact, increasing the penetrance and severity of scoliosis in mice and that Adgrg6-Sox9 signaling works through a self-reinforcing feedforward circuit to maintain ECM expression in connective tissues of the spine. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Great collaboration with Dan Cohn's group showing that small molecule inhibition of Trpv4 can rescue skeletal dysplasia of Trpv4 mutant mice. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41574606/
Small molecule inhibition rescues the skeletal dysplasia phenotype of Trpv4 mutant mice - PubMed
The TRPV4 skeletal dysplasias are characterized by short stature, short limbs with prominent large joints, and progressive scoliosis. They result from dominant missense mutations that activate the TRPV4 calcium permeable ion channel. As a platform to understand the mechanism of disease and to test t …

20th annual @jbwallingford.bsky.social lab chili cookoff 🌶️ previlaged to be part of a few along the way. Congratulations to the top chili winner Ty Gardner!
Our new work Cilia.io is out on the Rxiv. Ece Atayeter and Jason Ho trained an ML computer vision transformer for detection and quantification of cilia morphology and dynamics. We will provide a GUI soon. Another great collaboration w/ @jbwallingford.bsky.social

Congratulations to the newly minted Dr. Brittney Voigt! After defending a fantastic thesis spanning work in my lab and the @edwardmarcotte.bsky.social lab.
As Vice Chair of the GRC Bones and Teeth, I am delighted to invite you to join us for our upcoming meeting, on January 25–30, 2026, at Hotel Galvez in Galveston, TX, a cherished venue for our conference. We look forward to welcoming you to what is sure to be an exciting and memorable meeting!
New music Friday. @leifvollebekk.bsky.social is incredible. Highly recommend. Can’t wait to see you in the ATX in November.

Cool new paper on the role of cilia in postnatal pituitary development.
Mia Konjikusic, PhD@konjikusicmia.bsky.social · last yr.‼️🚨Preprint alert! 🚨‼️ Excited to have some of my first works as a postdoc, and first corresponding author (!!), on biorxiv! This was a fun side quest of a project marrying a few things I deeply love, development, cilia, and hormones in the pituitary! Happy reading! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
