Microtubules are core components of the eukaryotic cytoskeleton with essential roles in cell
division, shaping, motility and intracellular transport. Despite their functional heterogeneity …

Cilia are ubiquitous microtubule-based eukaryotic organelles that project from the cell to
generate motility or function in cellular signaling. Motile cilia or flagella contain axonemal …

Motile and non-motile (primary) cilia are nearly ubiquitous cellular organelles. The
dysfunction of cilia causes diseases known as ciliopathies. The number of reported …

Microtubules act as “railways” for motor-driven intracellular transport, interact with accessory
proteins to assemble into larger structures such as the mitotic spindle, and provide an …

Primary cilia are solitary, immotile sensory organelles present on most cells in the body that
participate broadly in human health, physiology and disease. Cilia generate a unique …

The borders between cell and developmental biology, which have always been permeable,
have largely dissolved. One manifestation is the blossoming of cilia biology, with cell and …

The centriole is an ancient microtubule-based organelle with a conserved nine-fold
symmetry. Centrioles form the core of centrosomes, which organize the interphase …

A characteristic feature of the human airway epithelium is the presence of ciliated cells
bearing motile cilia, specialized cell surface projections containing axonemes composed of …

Centrosomes are microtubule-organizing centres of animal cells. They influence the
morphology of the microtubule cytoskeleton, function as the base for the primary cilium and …

Both the basal body and the microtubule‐based axoneme it nucleates have evolutionarily
conserved subdomains crucial for cilium biogenesis, function and maintenance. Here, we …
