Using iPSC-derived human #neurons gene-edited to express pathogenic #KIF1A variants, @aikenlab.bsky.social, @erikaholzbaur.bsky.social et al. demonstrate that distinct alterations in KIF1A motor function disrupt synaptic development through divergent cellular mechanisms rupress.org/jcb/article/...

One year of the Aiken Lab! 🧫🔬🎉 It’s hard to believe how much we’ve built in our first year: new research directions, first papers, outreach initiatives, and an incredible team. Grateful to Sareen, Alejandra, Jacob, and Jay, and to our mentors and collaborators who have supported us along the way!

Excited to see live microtubule dynamics in the lab! Congrats to Sareen for collecting a beautiful human iPSC dataset. These little guys are chock full of microtubules! 🤩🧫🔬

Honored to see our first Aiken Lab paper featured by CSU SOURCE! This work is part of a broader effort to understand Tubulinopathies—neurological disorders caused by mutations in tubulin genes. 🔬 #NationalTubCongress #Tubulinopathy #CellBiology cvmbs.source.colostate.edu/innovative-t...

Innovative imaging technique allows researchers to better study neurodevelopmental disease progression
Novel protocol allows researchers to systematically look at pathogenic mutations present in tubulinopathy patients and visualize how they impact protein function inside cells.
