Such beautiful clarity of the microtubule triplets and 9-fold symmetry 😍

Farewell to our fabulous summer students, Hanna & Buraq! Happy that they had an enriching Summer in the lab exploring centrosomes/cilia, as much as we enjoyed their curious, youthful spirit!

Happy #FluorescenceFriday! This is a captivating image from Levente Kovács GloverLab Caltech. Their work discusses the evolutionary conservation of Gorab (trans-Golgi) and the divergence of binding partner Sas6 (inner core procentriole). 📖 Biology Open: doi.org/10.1242/bio.05…

Thanksgiving with the hearts of two labs, sharing happiness of this year

Centrosome tweeps, "Centrosomes in Development, Disease and Evolution" hybrid meeting will be in Istanbul on 26-29 September, 2023. We secured funding from EMBO The Company of Biologists, registration will start soon. Join us for the largest international #centrosome meeting. Please RT!

It was nice meeting everyone at the #CSHAsia #Cilia & #Centrosomes Meeting. We hope everyone had a good time with us and have a safe trip home! #Cell #Cilium #Centriole #Microtubules #Mitosis #CellDivision #Cellpolarity #CellMotility #Ciliopathies #ciliogenesis #CSHAsiaCilia2023

Prepare to be amazed: some parthenogenetic flies reproduce as larvae and the offspring burst forth from their mother in a sci-fi-worthy spectacle! 🪰👽 That and other fly facts in our review @labglover #Parthenogenesis #AlienInspired #Entomology

**New Paper**

Pallavi Panda broke my heart @centrosomes2023 by showing that centrioles work just fine even without their beautiful nine-fold symmetry. duplication. MT organisation. No pb. of course we all want to know what happens to cilia ... !

Just got a sneak peek at the group photo from #Centrosomes2023 in Taksim Square! 240 brilliant scientists from around the globe came together, enriching the İstanbul’s scientific bonds and outreach!

I have a new parthenogenesis paper with GloverLab! We found that aneuploidy arises during development in natural Drosophila parthenogens and our genetically induced parthenogens Heredity doi.org/10.1038/s41437…

📢 ** New Paper Alert** We show that centriole 9-fold microtubule symmetry is not essential for centriole elongation, correct distribution of the centriole’s components along its length, and in initiating aspects of centriole duplication. Nature Communications nature.com/articles/s4146…
