@smillakoy.bsky.socialCheck out the gorgeous expansion pix of diverse photoreceptors from Beltran et al @upenn.edu. The periciliary membrane of humans differs from that of dogs (and probably mouse). Could be why many mouse models of Usher syndrome don't show retinal degeneration? journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/...
Show PostIf you work on #PrimaryCilia 🔬 & spend too much time on manual image analysis, this might help! We built Cilia SubQ — semi- and automated cilia detection with analytical pipelines for basal body, transition zone, ciliary tip, and more (~8x faster ⏱️).
Show Post🧬 Excited to share our paper "Cilia SubQ," out now in Methods — semi-automated pipelines+ Cilia.AI for quantifying primary cilia & subdomains. Congrats to lead author Ellie Menzel! Paper: doi.org/10.1016/j.ymeth.2026.07.002 Cilia.AI, pipelines & tutorials: osf.io/hm38f In your lab? Reach out! #cilia
