How are #cilia built, how do they signal, how do they go awry to cause ciliopathies, and how do we fix them?

Thrilled to share our new study in collaboration with @TerenceRyan_PhD. We find that intramuscular adipose tissue (IMAT) directly impairs limb muscle function in PAD/CLTI and that preventing IMAT formation improves functional outcomes in experimental PAD. tinyurl.com/3efwaerh

Polycystic kidney disease is the most common monogenic cause of kidney failure and affects over 10 million individuals. We've known most PKD is caused by mutations in PKD1 for over 30 years. But how PKD1 prevents disease has remained mysterious, limiting effective therapy.

Excited to share our new paper! mtDNA mutations contribute to mitochondrial disease and aging only if they rise in abundance. We show that deleterious mutations reach high abundance by hitchhiking on genomes that have a replicative advantage rdcu.be/eugVO
