Cellular biology student Swati Suryavanshi publishes on ciliary motility

A new publication in Current Biology, by Swati Suryavanshi, a cellular biology graduate student in the Gaertig lab, identifies a novel mechanism of regulation of dynein motors inside cilia. The beating of cilia is dependent on dynein motors that slide microtubules. How the pattern of ciliary bending is determined is not known. Swati and a team of colleagues from UGA, Emory University, Miami University OH, SUNY at Buffalo NY, and CRBM…
