Today is the global Rare Disease Day 2026 and we together with colleagues from @imgprague.bsky.social want to raise awareness of research on rare diseases #ciliopathy #BardetBiedlSyndrome

Check our new paper: BBS1 mutations in #BardetBiedl
Syndrome define two functional classes: severe variants disrupt #BBSome assembly or ciliary localization, while milder variants impair specifically TOM1L2-dependent export of ubiquitinated cargo from cilia. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Our lab has two new members Hanka and Eashayan #cilia #fun #Xmas #photoshooting @imgprague.bsky.social

I am happy my team obtained a collaborative grant with @cajaneklab.bsky.social from Czech Science Foundation to study #IFT, #kinesin KIF14 and #TubulinCode in #cilia and #BardetBiedlSyndrome @imgprague.bsky.social

An enzymatic cascade enables sensitive and specific proximity labeling proteomics in challenging biological systems - Nature Communications Proximity labeling allows proteomic mapping of subcellular structures. Here, Sroka et al. develop in situ APEX activation (iAPEX) to overcome limitations of labeling specificity and H2O2 toxicity, app...

Congratulations @mick-lab.bsky.social, such an amazing work 🤩https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-025-65405-8

It was a lot of fun to write this review on cilia proteimics with Bernhard Schermer @cilib.social.cologne.ap.brid.gy and Ronald Ropeman, and we are excited to see it published in the @jcellsci.bsky.social special issue on Cilia and Flagella: from basic Biology to Disease.

Loss of ciliary proteins IFT20 and IFT88 results in defective phagocytosis and metabolism in the RPE A major proportion of retinal disease-causing genes are related to the primary cilium, a microtubule-based signalling organelle essential for multiple developmental pathways. Previous work has shown t...

Interesting connection between primary #cilia and energy #metabolism in #mitochondria. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Machine Learning Analysis of Cilia-Driven Particle Transport Distinguishes Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia Cilia from Normal Cilia Rational. Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a genetic condition that results in dysmotile cilia and abnormal mucociliary clearance. Despite advances in understanding the pathogenesis of PCD, diagnos...

I am excited to share our preprint on the use of machine learning to identify abnormal cilia function. I am proud of Nicholas Hadas, a talented PhD candidate, for his hard work in compiling the code and preparing this manuscript.

Get out your calendars! The motors are out of quarantine and we plan to assemble in person on 8th May 2026 at University of Warwick Campus for a fun day on motors and the filaments they walk along. Livestream is planned too. More details on registration, travel bursaries etc. will be revealed soon.

Volume 138 Issue 20 | Journal of Cell Science | The Company of Biologists Journal of Cell Science publishes cutting-edge science encompassing all aspects of cell biology. It is published by The Company of Biologists, a not-for-profit organisation.

Our special issue on ‘Cilia and Flagella’ is now out! Huge thanks to all (authors + reviewers) who contributed, and to our wonderful Guest Editors (@cilialab.bsky.social + @lottepedersen.bsky.social) for pulling it together.
Happy reading!

Very much looking forward to our next focus workshop on #cilia and #centrosomes. We'll have fantastic speakers again.

mitochondria from bipolar patients are closer to the nucleus in these images; control patients' are spread out further

15 years in the making, we confirmed that mitochondria - the powerhouse of the cell - have an unusual localization in patients who experience psychosis (including schizophrenia and bipolar disorders). You’ll never guess what kind of patient cells we used to make this discovery… 🧵

It is with great sadness that the University shares the news of the death of Professor Sir John Gurdon, founder of the @gurdoninstitute.bsky.social

I was wondering where everybody disappeared 😀

Today is the #BBSGlobalDay — an opportunity to raise awareness of this rare condition and offer support to everyone living with BBS and their loved ones 🌍 🌎 🌏
