How are #cilia built, how do they signal, how do they go awry to cause ciliopathies, and how do we fix them?

Please read and critique our new paper on the genetic determinants of human kidney function @NatureGenet:

We combined GWAS with CNN and CRISPRi to go from loci to target genes. This roadmap may be useful to others uncovering genes underlying human traits.

Our new paper led by @XiaoxinChen2024 is out @PNASNews! https://t.co/6drZWimYAt

We built a tissue atlas of ~2K transcription regulators ➔ identified Tox3 as a long-sought Atoh1 amplifer in cerebellar development, tumorigenesis & evolution. 1/10

📢 We're recruiting postdocs!

[Daniel Kopinke @KopinkeLab]

Thrilled to share our new study in collaboration with @TerenceRyan_PhD. We find that intramuscular adipose tissue (IMAT) directly impairs limb muscle function in PAD/CLTI and that preventing IMAT formation improves functional outcomes in experimental PAD. https://t.co/O7Tubo7KJM

[Gabriel Loeb @LoebLab]

Polycystic kidney disease is the most common monogenic cause of kidney failure and affects over 10 million individuals. We've known most PKD is caused by mutations in PKD1 for over 30 years. But how PKD1 prevents disease has remained mysterious, limiting effective therapy.

Janelia is hiring Group Leaders! Work alongside superstars like Luke Lavis, @JiefuBiol, @mengwang939, @JLS_Lab, @ERSchreiter. If you have ideas that are perhaps too ambitious or crazy for a traditional academic setting, that is exactly who they are looking for.

Tool-builders at all career stages with original, transformative ideas for experimental approaches in imaging, molecular engineering, protein chemistry, mass spectrometry, and methods that don’t yet exist: Apply by Feb. 3, 2026: https://t.co/WcEOWPoxw5

[Mia Konjikusic, PhD @KonjikusicMia]

Excited to have my first senior author publication out in the world! An awesome collab between myself in the @ReiterLab and the Berbari lab at IU. We found primary cilia are necessary for postnatal pituitary development. 1/n.

Save the date! PKDCON returns in 2026. Join us June 12–13 in the Chicago metro area, either in person or virtually. We can’t wait to see you there!

[Kurt zimmerman @Zimmermk1986]

Check out the latest work from our lab, done in collaboration with @FriedmanJed . Work was led by @sarah_jane210. @OuhscN

[Kurt zimmerman @Zimmermk1986]

Alex Yashchecko, the first Ph.D. Student in lab, is defending his thesis today!

[J Cell Science @J_Cell_Sci]

In their Cell Science at a Glance article, Dagmar Wachten & Søren Tvorup Christensen @t_soren explore the primary cilium as a master regulator of cellular communication that integrates diverse signalling pathways in development & homeostasis.

Good morning, Bay! I’m up early to head out to University of Florida @uflorida and Daniel Kopinke ⁦@KopinkeLab⁩. I hope to see you at the Dept of Pharmacology seminar Wednesday!

[Amjad Horani @horaniLab]

I am excited to share our preprint of CiliaTrack, a novel machine learning approach to PCD diagnosis. Proud of Nicolas Hadas, a talented PhD candidate in my lab, for developing the code and his amazing work on this project.

[Renasant Bio @RenasantBio]

More than 12 million people globally are impacted by ADPKD, and it still lacks disease-modifying therapies. Renasant Bio is on a mission to advance next-generation treatments for ADPKD through the development of small molecule correctors and potentiators. https://t.co/TMsUjd0v8w

[PKD Foundation @PKDFoundation]

Thank you to all PKD community members who have advocated over the years, and all who are standing up for the PKD community during this important time. Together, we can #EndPKD.
