Get out your calendars! The motors are out of quarantine and we plan to assemble in person on 8th May 2026 at University of Warwick Campus for a fun day on motors and the filaments they walk along. Livestream is planned too. More details on registration, travel bursaries etc. will be revealed soon.

Can #cilia grow without #dynein-2 mediated retrograde #IFT?👀
Yes, they can! Removing the ciliary gate lets trapped IFT components escape via diffusion & ciliary #EVs, driving axoneme elongation.

Removal of the Ciliary Gate Allows Axoneme Extension in the Absence of Retrograde IFT
The transition zone (TZ) is a selective barrier that maintains ciliary compartmentalization by controlling protein entry and exit. Cilia assembly requires the crossing of this barrier by intraflagella...

Postdoc position in my lab: investigating how the microtubule motor protein dynein-2 works in cilia.
Here's dynein-2 at work translocating microtubules - how is this activity regulated? How does dynein-2 malfunction in disease?

Many congratulations Pleasantine!
Thrilled- the @bsdb.bsky.social medal in Wolpert's name marks 'vastly important contributions to research in our field, but also to the communication of its problems to a broader audience'. Communicating the importance of our research has never been more important when science is under such threat!
We are delighted to announce that the winner of the 2025 Wolpert medal is Pleasantine Mill!

Solving 25 years of frustration, Daniel Abbühl managed to tag trypanosome tubulin and to express it in an inducible manner, hence revealing flagellum assembly! A tour-de-force!
