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

It has been a decade since it was discovered that primary cilia have an essential role in
Hedgehog (Hh) signaling in mammals. This discovery came from screens in the mouse that …

Nephronophthisis-related ciliopathies (NPHP-RC) are a group of inherited diseases that
affect genes encoding proteins that localize to primary cilia or centrosomes. With few …

Cilia are ubiquitous eukaryotic organelles impotant for cellular motility, signaling, and
sensory reception. Cilium formation requires intraflagellar transport of structural and …

While cilia are recognized as important signaling organelles, the extent of ciliary functions
remains unknown because of difficulties in cataloguing proteins from mammalian primary …

Joubert syndrome (JS) is a genetically heterogeneous primary ciliopathy characterized by a
pathognomonic cerebellar and brainstem malformation, the “molar tooth sign,” and variable …

The neural crest (NC) is a transient, multipotent and migratory cell population that generates
an astonishingly diverse array of cell types during vertebrate development. These cells …

Intraflagellar transport (IFT) is the highly conserved process by which proteins are
transported along ciliary microtubules by a train-like polymeric assembly of IFT-A and IFT-B …

Inherited monogenic disease has an enormous impact on the well-being of children and
their families. Over half of the children living with one of these conditions are without a …

Ciliogenesis is a complex multistep process used to describe assembly of cilia and flagella.
These organelles play essential roles in motility and signaling on the surface of cells. Cilia …
