Research Assistant/Associate (Fixed Term) in the Department of Pathology at the University of Cambridge.

The ciliary transition zone gates bidirectional protein trafficking to maintain the specialized ciliary proteome using microtubule doublets as a scaffold. While ciliary axonemal doublets are well-char...

This study describes a new mechanistic framework for the initiation of primary cilium formation, based on the characterization of unique vesicular membrane intermediates at the mother centriole reveal...

Singh et al. combine cryo-electron microscopy and functional studies to reveal how a single protein complex selects diverse mRNAs for subcellular localization using a combination of shape, positional ...

Apply for funding to support exciting and ambitious research within the remit of the Medical Research Council, to transform our understanding of human health and disease

BSCB GenSoc UK Cilia and Centrosome Network e-Symposia Series

Join us for the annual in-person meeting of the UK Cilia & Centrosomal Network meeting, which for 2026 will be at the University of Leeds!

During mitosis, properly aligned chromosomes stabilise microtubule ends with the help of kinetochores to ensure timely segregation of chromosomes. Microtubule-binding components of the human outer kin...

The process to appoint the next EMBO Director is underway. The incoming Director will take office in February 2028, succeeding Fiona Watt, who has led the organization since January 2022

Universität Bern is looking for Postdoctoral Researcher - Structural Biology of Cilia (100%)

Inherited mutations in the spindle pole-associated scaffold protein WDR62 cause autosomal recessive primary microcephaly. Previous research has characterised the roles of WDR62 in the regulation of sp...

Ian Chapman tries to reassure researchers amid uncertainty over paused calls and cost pressures

Members of the UK Cilia and Centrosome Network have prepared the following briefing on the UKRI funding pause collating publicly available information:n Background: UKRI has been given a £38.6 billion four-year budget (2026–2030) by the government [1]. This will be divided into 4-streams (buckets) to align with national priorities. Curiosity driven research ...

The centriole duplication cycle must be tightly controlled and coordinated with the chromosome cycle. Aberrations in centriole biogenesis can cause developmental disorders, ciliopathies and cancer, ye...

Cell Death & Differentiation - A tale of two tags: UFMylation counters ubiquitination for ciliary homeostasis

An antibody-based spatial proteomics screen on human primary cilia explores 715 proteins across single cilia of different cell types and reveals extensive cell-type specificity, single-cilium heteroge...

A gain-of-function screen uncovers a cilia disassembly pathway linked to genes somatically mutated in neurodevelopmental disease.

3D-printed gel microcilia arrays printed by two-photon polymerization and composed of a soft acrylic acid-co-acrylamide hydrogel with a nanometre-scale network structure are shown to respond...
