No momentum lost as we dazzled with the ciliary necklace, CEP290 and transition zone integrity in #photoreceptors, inner scaffold maintenance & membrane attachment key for gating with the amazing @abimoye.bsky.social (Wensel group and current @carlorivolta.bsky.social ). #IRDs #UKCilia2025 /4
#Cilia and #Centrosome friends- tomorrow is the big day!! 🎉 🎉
Organoids for #PCD, #CryoET of the base of motile cilia, TZ organization in #IRDs, macrophages & cystic niches in #PKD, how pro-inflammatory lipids & #adipogenesis AND cilia as signal-sending organelles shedding #EVs! 🤩 😍 Join us!!
🧬 How can we navigate the genetic complexity of inherited retinal diseases?
Our new paper in @ajhgnews.bsky.social presents RetiGene, a curated atlas of IRD genes, built with @erdc-team.bsky.social, to support diagnosis, research and therapy.

Our 52nd BSCB GenSoc UK Cilia and Centrosome e-symposium kicks off with a spectacular #super-resolution showcase on how RPGR variants affect #multiciliogenesis & cilia motility to cause #PCD or #IRDs via #actin dynamics! Zhen Liu wows- ICYMI: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... #UKCilia2025 /1
A collage of six images: five young adults from the youth panel sitting on stage with the USH2025 screen behind them; the Congrestival programme resting on someone’s lap; Carol and Deborah, founders of Usher Syndrome Ireland, standing side by side in front of a stage; a photo from the Can I Catch Your Eye exhibition; Prof Ronald Pennings, Dr Erwin van Wijk, and Carol Brill in front of a research poster; and a graph showing the number of Usher syndrome research publications from 1936 to 2021, with a sharp increase in recent years. Centre caption reads: “USH2025 – What We Learned.”
Our recap of #USH2025 - International Symposium on Usher Syndrome is now live, highlighting the exciting research & innovative work currently underway to find treatments for this rare disease: usherireland.org/ush2025

Découvrez les actions en cours et à venir dans l'article rédigé par Léna, notre chargée de projet pour l'Inde : www.terredeshommes.fr/post/quoi-de... #inde #tamilnadu #IRDS #TDHF #terredeshommes
Même si le programme 2022/24 a pris fin, nous continuons à accompagner l' #IRDS depuis le début de l'année, et un nouveau projet émerge pr former 400 jeunes à l’ #agroécologie, aux pratiques médicinales traditionnelles, à l’ #aquaponie, au #droitdutravail & à la gestion des #ressourcesnaturelles
Our new manuscript has just been posted as a preprint on bioRxiv. You can read the full story here www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Today is #RareDiseaseDay.
Inherited Retinal Diseases are a group of rare genetic disorders where one or more genes aren't working properly, leading to visual impairments.
There are more than 20 types of #IRDs, affecting over 20,000 Canadians.
