Excited to finally share this pre-print on the eve of my viva: ‘C. elegans septins regulate a subset of sensory neuronal cilia via cell-non autonomous mechanisms in supporting glia’ www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
C. elegans septins regulate a subset of sensory neuronal cilia via cell-non autonomous mechanisms in supporting glia
The sensory and signaling roles of primary cilia rely on compartmentalization mechanisms that establish the organelle's protein and lipid composition. Septins, a family of cytoskeletal GTPases, are pr...

More new science from the lab! Led by @nathancsharris.bsky.social (now at GA State) and PD Priya Dutta.

We describe how experience tunes the ratios of functional receptors in a single sensory neuron via coordinating transcriptional and post-transcriptional mechanisms to drive response plasticity.
