Okay cell biologists - where are you? 👀
So it turns out you’re all here! It’s great to see the community growing. Here’s to happier times!
On that note, here’s your friendly reminder that JCS is a community journal published by a not-for-profit organisation (@biologists.bsky.social) that exists to benefit scientists, not shareholders 😁

Just over a week to go until #cellbio2025! Anyone else going?!? And any recommendations for what to see, do and eat in Philadelphia?

We are thrilled to see this out in @jcellsci.bsky.social an in the special issue on Cilia. Cfap298 - which we call Kurly - is the mutant that keeps on giving us surprises! In this paper, a mutation generated by CRISPR, that deletes two aa and changes a third, specifically affects cilia motility.
