How do #trypanosomes restrict #IFT to only 4 doublet microtubules? 2 hypotheses were proposed (restriction @ the flagellum base or @ the injection) but @Aline_A_Alves reveals it is a third way! It all happens in the proximal portion of the flagellum! (BioRxiv link@ end of thread)
Many thanks to @PMorgaDavid for providing FIB-SEM volume, @CentrioleLab (particularly @louvel_vincent for training on UExM, to Gael Moneron for STED and to @ElectronPasteur and PBI for access to their equipment.
Inspiring discussions with paralympic athletes @MParabad, Esteban Herrault, @NantoKeita223 and @tresormakunda @institutpasteur, raising fascinating parallelisms with the challenges we are facing as scientists
Exciting PhD project in the lab of Sue Vaughan at @oxford_brookes University to study #trypanosome basal bodies and flagellum formation
