💥 🚀 New preprint! 🎉🥳 How do hundreds of organelles organize themselves into near-perfect patterns inside a cell, without a blueprint? We dive deep into how basal bodies (BBs) self-organize in MCCs - and how actin actively tunes their dynamics into order 🍪 🧵👇 (1/17)

McCluskey et al. publish in Nature Communications how expression of autism genes is enriched in migratory embryonic gut progenitors causing GI dismotility. www.xenbase.org/xenbase/doNe... #science #devbio #xenopus #frogs

Excited to share my paper now published at @naturecomms.bsky.social ! We provide evidence that autism gene variants affect enteric neuron migration and cause gastrointestinal dysmotilty. Check it out ! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Join us for the fantastic annual @cshlnews.bsky.social #Xenopus cell & developmental Biology course. Deadline for application is Jan 31st. meetings.cshl.edu/courses.aspx...

Congratulations to newly PhD'ed @pieceofkate.bsky.social Dr. McCluskey!! She gave a fantastic thesis seminar to cap it off 👏🎓🐸✨

Appreciate this generous write up on our recent preprint! www.thetransmitter.org/spectrum/hai...

🎉 Congrats to the wonderful and talented @elinakosty.bsky.social !! Check out her exciting new preprint where she shows that autism proteins (chromatin regulators and synaptic proteins ! ) converge to localize on cilia Plus she'll be at ASCB @ascbiology.bsky.social to talk more about it!

Xenopus is an awesome model for ENS development !

Check out James’ cool new paper! Using cilia in frogs 🐸 to study KANSL1 and translating those findings to humans !
