Exciting project!

Our special issue on ‘Cilia and Flagella’ is now out! Huge thanks to all (authors + reviewers) who contributed, and to our wonderful Guest Editors (@cilialab.bsky.social + @lottepedersen.bsky.social) for pulling it together. Happy reading! #cilia #flagella journals.biologists.com/jcs/issue/13...

A full house for the brilliant talk of Jean Popovici (Institut Pasteur du Cambodge) @pasteur.fr bridging #parasitology and #virology #malaria #plasmodium #Pasteur2030

Miao Gui and I wrote a Review for the @jcellsci.bsky.social special issue “Cilia and Flagella: From Basic Biology to Disease”. It provides a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of MIP structure, function, and the latest tools used to study them, crafted to serve both newcomers and experts.

📣 Here it is — our overview on ciliary proteomics! Great discussions and writing with @mick-lab.bsky.social and Ronald Roepman 🙏🙏 Hope we didn’t miss anything important - apologies if we did! #cilia #ciliopathies #proteomics @theracilproject.bsky.social @for5547.bsky.social tinyurl.com/yc8ztn5v

One of the ‘Cell Scientists to Watch’ from our #JCSciliaSI is Girish Ram Mali @dyneinassembly.bsky.social @dunnschool.bsky.social. In this interview we learn about Girish’s career path, scientific mentorship, and how science is a human endeavour. journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/...

Daniel's interview!

Great issue! Bonus: includes Daniel's work on incorporation of tagged tubulin in flagella!

Multiple so called "quality control checks" by the journal almost killed us. - But now it is out! A novel mito. protein import factor is only essential in T. brucei without kDNA. – Check it out. Congrats, to the first authors Corinne and Salome and to all our coauthors. doi.org/10.1111/febs...

#holobiont parasite: from descriptive studies towards experimental and clinical tangible evidence that parasites are not alone and that it matters! Upon virus discovery, we showed an association between fluke-borne virus specific IgG titer and avidity and disease severity. doi.org/10.1101/2025...

🎆 Join us for an unmissable finale to 2025! 🎆 We're thrilled to bring our #cilia & #centrosome community together 25/11/2025 15:00-17:45 GMT! Our 53rd @bscb-official.bsky.social @gensocuk.bsky.social @ukcilianetwork.bsky.social e-symposium schedule is live: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/bscb-genso... /1

Thank you to the organizers of the CFC meeting 2025 in Oberbronn! See you next year in Lyon! @club-cfc.bsky.social

Special thanks to our keynote lectures for fantastic talks! @micromotility.bsky.social @mick-lab.bsky.social

Many thanks to all participants to the CFC2025 meeting last week for having made it such a vibrant experience! So much exciting research on #cilia

Thank you @bastinlab.bsky.social and Sylvie Friant for organising this amazing #cilia meeting! 🙏 So many interesting discussions, and not enough time! Just look at this beautiful venue... 🤩

Lovely front cover!

Great and efficient system!

Curious about how antibodies can target Plasmodium sporozoites? Very happy to see this review out, it means a lot to me to finish my PhD research topic with a nice overview of what is known about how anti-CSP Abs neutralize the parasite in the mammalian host.

Does #dengue virus hijack #mosquitoes' brain? Study led by Felix Hol @pasteur.fr discovered that infected mosquitoes take smaller blood meals. As a result, they bite more often, and potentially infect infect more people. (video in French with English subtitles available) youtu.be/2u_qckfAQa4?...
