The next #DGZ Focus Workshop on #Cilia & #Centrosomes will take place November 25 (end of October is our DGZ meeting in HD). Join us for a great speaker line-up, and big thanks to David Mick @mick-lab.bsky.social & Dagmar Wachten @wachtenlab.bsky.social for organizing!

Primary #cilia dysfunction as in Bardet-Biedl syndrome compromises normal adipogenic differentiation in favor of fibrogenic transition, predisposing to obesity @wachtenlab.bsky.social and collaborators www.embopress.org/doi/full/10....

🚨 New in The EMBO Journal! Loss of BBS8 disrupts ciliary Hedgehog signaling, switching adipocyte precursors into fibrogenic cells—remodeling adipose tissue before obesity begins. 🔬 #BBS #cilia @for5547.bsky.social @sfb1454.bsky.social @batenergy.bsky.social 📄 www.embopress.org/doi/full/10....

🚨 Catching up with great news! Our NAR paper with the @wachtenlab.bsky.social and supported by Prof. Möglich presents a powerful light-switch for gene expression in mammalian cells, with big potential for bioproduction and research. #Optogenetics #SyntheticBiology #Bioproduction #GeneExpression

💡 Paper alert! We developed DEL-VPR, a potent blue-light photoswitch inducing gene expression in mammalian cells. From basic research to antibody production, this tool offers precise & strong gene control. Teamwork with #Ningaloo academic.oup.com/nar/article/... #SyntheticBiology #Optogenetics

We are SO EXCITED to share our story @nature.com: 🧵1/ Maternal obesity reprograms fetal liver macrophages, triggering adult fatty liver disease in the offspring. This study uncovers how Kupffer cells act as intergenerational messengers in metabolic disease. 👉 Read here: rdcu.be/erD3b

Looking forward to an inspiring 2-day #iii institute retreat packed with great science, collaborations, and fresh ideas. Grateful to @unibonn.bsky.social for hosting us in #IMPULSE! 🙌🔬

Huge congratulations! 🎉

Thrilled to be part of this amazing journey! 🙌 Hurray indeed! @dfg.de has just approved funding for ImmunoSensation3 🎉 Focused on Immune Diversity, we're set for 7 more years of cutting-edge #immunology in #Bonn! Let’s go! 💥 #ImmunoSensation #science

Proud PI - congratulations to Seniz for being awarded the "Rising Star" award of the @for5547.bsky.social #cilia

Grateful to be part of such a fantastic consortium! Huge thanks to our amazing coordinator Christina and to Silke for organizing an inspiring annual meeting in Jena. Latest new: we’ve got a new rising star on the team! #cilia

🎉 Huge congratulations to Susan Dutcher @dutcherlab.bsky.social on her election to the National Academy of Sciences! A well-deserved recognition of her outstanding contributions to cell biology and cilia research. 👏🔬 #WomenInSTEM #Cilia

Excited for an inspiring meeting in France 🇫🇷 on #cilia and #centrosomes! The German #cilia community is en route—let’s connect and share science!

Dear cilia researchers, join us in the heart of the beautiful Vosges mountains to share your latest findings! This year, partnership with @for5547.bsky.social and keynote lectures by @micromotility.bsky.social and @mick-lab.bsky.social Registration is now open www.cfc2025.conferences-pasteur.org

Congratulations to Ronja from the @wachtenlab.bsky.social , who won the 1st poster prize at the international @batenergy.bsky.social meeting! 🎉🥳

Cilia has been at the center of our discussions at the spring school of our @for5547.bsky.social cilia consortium. In total there were 26 trainees from across Europe, few PIs and our brilliant coordinator Christina Klausen.

Interested in primary #cilia, #microtubules, #protein trafficking, molecular #signaling, #GPCRs, and #ciliopathies? We are looking for a #postdoc and a #PhDstudent to apply advanced #biochemistry and #proteomics methods to study cilia. Check out our website and send your application until March 10.

Thanks a lot to #FEBS and the Norwegian bioscience society for hosting me and special thanks to @nathaliejuya.bsky.social and @emreyaksi.bsky.social for your hospitality!

Looking forward to #Cilia 2027 - watch out for more information!
