Back in London after a fantastic #FASEB Cilia & Centrosomes Meeting in DC! Great science & networking! Great to catch up with old and new friends & present our work! THANKS to the organizers: Pleasantine Mill @cilialab.bsky.social @reitergroup.bsky.social @sarahgoetz.bsky.social @nachury.bsky.social

Centrioles, cilia, trafficking and signaling.
Could not have said it better!
A primary cilium & all the centriolar satellites? 🤔 Had a great time at @faseborg.bsky.social #cilia meeting learning that as we have always suspected, cilia are always at the centre (and indeed at the periphery) of everything!
Thank you #LukasCajanek for hosting me! I had an amazing time discussing science with everyone @masarykuniversity.bsky.social in BRNO. Also Thank you #MichaelaBosakova and lab for great discussions! Got to walk #Mendel stairs! #cilia
Feeling energyzed after a fantastic #DynamicCellVI meeting. Discussing work, listening to great research and talking to old & new friends! Thank you @bscb-official.bsky.social, @biochemsoc.bsky.social, @viji-draviam.bsky.social raviam.bsky.social, @matthias-krause.bsky.social and everyone! #Brunel
That's a wrap for #DynamicCellVI Thank you to all presenters for sharing their amazing science. The quality of ECR talks and posters has been outstanding. Thanks to @viji-draviam.bsky.social @matthias-krause.bsky.social & @biochemsoc.bsky.social for organising
What a treat! Thank you @jcellsci.bsky.social
Our Special Issue on Cilia and Flagella: from Basic Biology to Disease, guest edited by @cilialab.bsky.social and @lottepedersen.bsky.social, is building. We’ll be highlighting all the articles over the next couple of weeks. Follow along at #JCSciliaSI. journals.biologists.com/jcs/issue/13...
Great Science! Great food and great company in Oberbronn! Thank you to the organizers of the CFC meeting 2025! Thank you for all the fantastic talks & posters! + unbeatable morning runs! @club-cfc.bsky.social @bastinlab.bsky.social @alexbnmrh.bsky.social #cilia #flagella #centrosome #ciliopathies
Very exciting few days this week as we attended and presented our work at the 5th Crick International Cancer Conference. Well done Rebecca! @crick.ac.uk @cengem.bsky.social @cancerresearchuk.org
Amazing time last week at Driving Discoveries! Thank you @kidneyresearchuk.org for the opportunity to share our work and meet scientists, clinicians and patients. Very motivated! @cengem.bsky.social
Congratulations Dagmar and team! @wachtenlab.bsky.social
🚨 New in The EMBO Journal! Loss of BBS8 disrupts ciliary Hedgehog signaling, switching adipocyte precursors into fibrogenic cells—remodeling adipose tissue before obesity begins. 🔬 #BBS #cilia @for5547.bsky.social @sfb1454.bsky.social @batenergy.bsky.social 📄 www.embopress.org/doi/full/10....
Thrilled for the publication of our latest paper on the role of SAS-6 in invasion. This was a pre-pandemic and post-pandemic effort that would not have been possible without our students and the support of so many colleagues and friends! @zech-lab.bsky.social @cengem.bsky.social #cilia #centrioles
SAS-6 promotes invasion through YAP pathway activation @cengem.bsky.social @tanosbarbara.bsky.social www.life-science-alliance.org/content/8/10...
Very proud of Aimée Gowans for defending her MPhil at Brunel University of London! She is going away for a PhD! I hope to be a part of her science family and continue to mentor/support her in the future.
Thrilled to have joined the University of London! @uolondon.bsky.social @cengem.bsky.social @kidneyresearchuk.org
Amazing meeting showcasing our work. Thank you @JHMRF for bringing us together!
What puzzles me about cilia and cancer is how ciliary signals can promote of block cancer cells. Thank you @oncogenejournal, colleagues, reviewers and editors and hopefully we did a good job with this review. #cancer #cilia www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Thank you Oncogene for this opportunity and very grateful to the reviewers, editors and colleagues for making this manuscript better. And, of course, thankful to my student, Rebecca Collinson, for following on my crazy ideas! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The 2025 @bsdb.bsky.social Wolpert Medal goes to Pleasantine Mill @cilialab.bsky.social 🎉 In this interview, Pleasantine talks about why it’s important, now more than ever, for scientists to engage in community work: thenode.biologists.com/an-interview...
Just out! We used C. elegans to trace the cargo of ciliary EVs and found that their loading is a regulated process involving polycystins. @barrlab.bsky.social communities.springernature.com/posts/tiny-m...

We're live! @inikon.bsky.social used modular proximity labeling to identify ciliary EV cargo in #celegans. This EV-TurboID approach can be applied in cell- & tissue-specific manners to define the composition of distinct EV subtypes, a major challenge of the EV field. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Dismantling federal utilities that are clearly a public good (NWS, NIH, NSF, CDC, etc.) is such a clear overarching theme of an administration that seems committed to dragging the US backwards to a time when Americans could not rely on expertise and evidence to ensure a better, safer life
The NWS is a critical public utility, and it would be extremely difficult to rebuild if torn down. This is not, in short, an acceptable setting in which to “move fast and break things.” 9/11
At the NIH, posters of women and scientists of color have been taken down. Shared by @ivancalcantara.bsky.social on X. 2/x
Another assault on US competitiveness at a time when biomedicine is roaring with innovation, an own-goal in a high-stakes international tournament. Of course the real losers are American people needing medicines and cures. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...
NIH cuts billions of dollars in biomedical funding, effective immediately
The move halts a large slice of money for most universities and research institutions virtually overnight, imperiling vital research in everything from cancer to heart disease.

Couldn't make @ascbiology.bsky.social annual meeting this year ☹️ - hope everyone has a blast. Check out Journal of Cell Science booth @jcellsci.bsky.social - we are the good publishers who care about the science community!
There is a growing tendency to view everything as a product to be sold, but science is different, it is not a product, it's a process requiring critical thinking and evidence. Thank you @jcellsci.bsky.social and Sara Morais da Silva for giving me a voice.
Our Cell Scientist to Watch interview is with @tanosbarbara.bsky.social. We hear about Barbara’s career, her research on centrioles and cilia and her best advice for her students. journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/...
Very humbled and honored to share my story. Thank you @jcellsci.bsky.social and Sara Morais da Silva for the interview! journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/... @cengem.bsky.social
