I am excited to share our preprint of CiliaTrack, a novel machine learning approach to PCD diagnosis. Proud of Nicolas Hadas, a talented PhD candidate in my lab, for developing the code and his amazing work on this project. https://t.co/fCwO6xcUcs

Rational. Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a genetic condition that results in dysmotile cilia and abnormal mucociliary clearance. Despite advances in understanding the pathogenesis of PCD,...

I would like to share a Guideline-in-Focus episode that summarizes the recently published ERS/ATS PCD diagnosis guidelines. These guidelines are an important step in standardizing our approach to #PCD diagnosis across the world. https://t.co/bxuQZHOFlf

The ERS/ATS guidelines for the diagnosis of Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia are available online https://t.co/mwkAnW1gBC The panel gives strong recommendation for use of HSVM, IF, and nNO as adjunct tests to TEM and/or genetics for PCD diagnosis

New ATS/ERS guidelines available very soon! If you missed today’s presentation, do not miss the guidelines session at the # ERSCongress on Monday (9:30am - room 7A).
If you have a patient with suspicion of #PCD Good for you to think of it. Now follow the new ERS/ATS diagnostic guideline, now in press @EuroRespSoc @atscommunity @beatpcd #PCD2025 @ERSpublications @mgoutaki @Shoemelia @horaniLab

It is bitter sweet to say goodbye to my patients. Last week was tough for the WASHU PCD and Rare lung team, as we saw 4 patients graduate to the adult side. I had the privilege to care for some for almost 15 years. I am glad to share their journey and be part of their lives.

I'm pleased to share this work now published in @PLOSBiology! Since our preprint, we've uncovered exciting new links connecting CCDC66 to actin, vesicular trafficking, and Wnt signaling, and revealed how these contribute to CCDC66's ciliary functions. See link below!
New preprint alert! We've uncovered the role of the microtubule-associated protein Ccdc66 in maintaining the stability and disassembly of the primary cilium. Our findings reveal how Ccdc66 depletion leads to unstable cilia and affects signaling pathways like Hedgehog and Wnt.

Major congratulations to my good friend, colleague and mentor Susan Dutcher @DutcherLab for being elected to the National Academy of Sciences! 🍾 A much deserved recognition of an incredible scientist who's made giant contributions to our understanding of #cilia biology 👏👏
We are thrilled to announce the election of 120 members and 30 international members to the National Academy of Sciences in recognition of their distinguished and continued achievements in original research. Congratulations to our new #NASmembers and welcome to the Academy! 🎊

Probably the most accurate point to keep in mind from the whole @ErnLung PCD meeting these days, coming from @horaniLab: "there is no mild and severe PCD, all PCD is severe."
