Check out a fun write-up by Hehnly Lab undergraduate turned post-bac, Nicole Hall, about a substructure of the centrosome, sub-distal appendages contribution to cell division, ciliogenesis, and differentiation. Also importantly, Nicole is on the look out for sweet graduate programs, she is the catch of the decade for any lab who wants an excited, curious, and driven graduate student. Keep your eyes peeled for great things in the future from Nicole!
The title of her paper is: A centriole’s Subdistal appendages: contributions to cell division, ciliogenesis and differentiation
You can find it here.
Appendage proteins result in cilia defects and/or spindle positioning defects with downstream consequences in development.
