Wonderful work from @ConduitSarah in @CellsigL - uncovering new #PI3K alpha signalling & #cilia biology!!! Many thanks to our collaborators at @uclcancer @QMBCI @CICbioGUNE @crick @CarrerasIJC and @NatureComms Editor for his professionalism in handling our MS 👋👋
Pleased to share our work on a new function and signalling pathway for PI3K in primary cilia signalling hubs rdcu.be/dRBaC. This adds a new organelle to the PI3K repertoire and could help better understand PI3K’s role in overgrowth syndromes & cancer.
