📣Thrilled that a work of my student🧑‍🎓, David Vyslouzil, linking the function of Tau Tubulin Kinase 2 in the regulation of primary #cilia dynamics to the phosphorylation of #kinesin KIF2A, is now accepted in CCS! shorturl.at/2qaru Big thanks to all our great collaborators!

Cool!
Our paper looking at the structure of retrograde IFT trains is out now! Have a look at the link, or see some of the headlines in this video: cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092…

Check out this stunning animation by @janetiwasa (in collaboration with @SamReckPeterson), showcasing our model of how various components come together to form active dynein complexes capable of transporting cellular cargo.
Our work on how the lysosomal adaptor JIP3, and regulator LIS1 activate the dynein motor protein is now out in @ScienceMagazine ! science.org/doi/10.1126/scie… Many thanks to our reviewers and editor for their valuable input.

Our latest review article in NRMCB is out on everyone's favorite signaling organelle, the primary cilium! It was truly a real pleasure to work on this with @Myers_lab and @ReiterLab.

Come join us in Twin Cities May 12-16! It’ll be great science and great folks — plus quench your craving for all things cilia! I hope to see you!
Join us in St. Paul! Since 2007, this conference has been the premier venue for cilia and flagella research. Organizers @PeterKJackson, @Mill_lab, and @ReiterLab have created a great program for our first SRC of 2024. #BCFSRC #CellBio Save your space: hubs.ly/Q02k2Fcw0

Excited to share this preprint on the in vivo BioID of neuronal primary cilia in the brain. We provide novel neural ciliary nodes, sharing a wealth of signaling hits with the scientific community and more in-depth insights into neurological disorders. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… – at Sioux Falls, SD
