Finally out! 🥳We added a lot of rescue experiments. We now show that Arl13b needs to locate to commissural neurons primary cilium for proper rostral turning of axons. We also further characterized Shh retrograde transport to the soma of comm. neurons.

Delighted to share our latest preprint entitled « A cell-autonomous role for #primarycilia in long-range commissural #axonguidance ». We propose a mechanism involving the neuronal primary cilium during axon guidance at an intermediate target. tinyurl.com/2s4aykbb 🧵(1/7)

The tissue shown here is an ex vivo culture of intact spinal cord from a🐣embryo, allowing us to observe these processes in a controlled yet physiologically relevant setting.What looks like a simple crossing event emerges from complex and tightly regulated cellular processes.

During development, these neurons extend long projections that grow toward the midline, cross it, and then turn to grow along the length of the spinal cord. This coordinated behavior is essential for establishing connectivity between the two sides of the nervous system.

These are dI1 neurons, a well-studied class of spinal interneurons that have been used for more than 30 years to uncover fundamental mechanisms of axon guidance and neural circuit formation.

This is how actin shapes the neuronal growth cone 🔬
When a neuron grows, it doesn’t just extend blindly. It actively moves, explores its surroundings, and makes decisions along the way.

This Is What Drives Axon Growth. Axon growth is powered by the actin cytoskeleton at the growth cone.
Here, filamentous actin dynamics drive fast, directed axon extension in real time. #Fluorescencefriday #science #neuroscience

Thrilled to collaborate with @ZhixingChen2 Lab @PKU1898!
We tested new PK Mem dyes—gentle, photostable tools to label the plasma membrane in live neurons, making it easier to track growth cone motility & axonal transport. #liveimaging #neuroscience

This time-lapse captures 17h of axonal growth from a chick dorsal root ganglion explant, seen through the actin cytoskeleton using live imaging. I just submitted this video to the Nikon Small World in Motion competition. Today is the last day to upload yours!😉 #neuroscience

I’m very excited to finally present something we’ve been working on for the past couple of years – a spatial proteome map of primary cilia, released in @ProteinAtlas today. Amazing teamwork led by @jn_hansen

The punishment for science misconduct is …. nothing. All these men are still running labs / paid professors.

#1 - Marc Tessier-Lavigne
Genentech pointed out problems in his 2009 Nature paper in 2012. After an expose by @tab_delete, he had to resign from Stanford Presidency, but can still run lab and do research.

The plasma membrane was stained using the PKmem 555 probe from @Spirochrome. This was my second attempt with it—very promising! Images were acquired with a spinning disk microscope, with one image taken every 5 seconds.
