Cell paper! Sperm DMT and male infertility

by

The first publication of the Gui lab is online in Cell. We revealed the structures of mouse and human sperm DMTs and identified many sperm-specific microtubule inner proteins (MIPs). Moreover, combining whole exome sequencing and cell biological analysis, we identified a new subtype of asthenozoospermia, MIVA (MIP-variant-associated asthenozoospermia). This was a great collaboration with Jianping … Read more

Revealing the atomic detail of the ciliary skeleton

by

Miao’s postdoc work in the Brown lab has been online on Nature. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-023-06140-2 This work uncovered the structures of axoneme from Chlamydomonas reinhardtii flagella and human respiratory cilia. The ~200 proteins identified in our study have implications for PCD/MMAF diagnosis. We also revealed how gene mutations affect ciliary motility and structure by checking the respiratory … Read more

Welcome Huang, our first postdoc!
