Susan Dutcher, Ph.D., Professor in the Department of Genetics at Washington University, has published two reviews, one on the structure of cytoplasmic dynein and the other on Hydin, a protein in the central pair microtubules. “Dynein tails: how to hitch a ride...
The Dutcher Lab published three noteworthy papers in the latter half of 2019. The first paper, “De Novo Mutations in FOXJ1 Result in a Motile Ciliopathy with Hydrocephalus and Randomization of Left/Right Body Asymmetry,” appears in the American Journal of...
The Dutcher Lab had a paper published recently in Cell. The paper, “Structure of the Decorated Ciliary Doublet Microtubule,” explains the architectural principles that underpin the assembly of the native axonemal doublet microtubule and provides a...
The Dutcher Lab has a new preprint, “Mutation of CFAP57 causes primary ciliary dyskinesia by disrupting the asymmetric targeting of a subset of ciliary inner dynein arms.” Mathieu Bottier, a postdoc in the Dutcher Lab, and Mihaela Stoyanova, a technician...
The Dutcher Lab is working with an interdisciplinary team of researchers to develop a new method that uses ultrasound waves to trap cells propelled by cilia, and then releases them to measure their movement as they swim away. Susan Dutcher, professor of genetics and...
Mathieu Bottier, a postdoctoral fellow in the Dutcher Lab, recently had a paper published in Biophysical Journal. The paper, “How Does Cilium Length Affect Beating?” shows that features of the ciliary waveform were quantified from polynomial curves fitted...
Congratulations to graduate students Celine St. Pierre, Nicolette Laird, and Gervette Penny for winning “Best Poster” awards at the recent DBBS retreat. Celine, a member of the Lawson lab, won for the Human and Statistical Genomics program (HSG); Nicolette Laird, a...
