The Motion of An Inv Nodal Cilium: a Realistic Model Revealing Dynein-Driven Ciliary Motion with Microtubule Mislocalization

Cellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 2018
Background/Aims: Nodal cilia that rotate in the ventral node play an important role in establishing left-right asymmetry during embryogenesis; however, inv mutant cilia present abnormal movement and induce laterality defects.

Sequence and expression analysis of potential spermatogenesis‐specific gene cognates in the Caribbean fruit fly, Anastrepha suspensa

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The sterile insect technique (SIT) is a highly effective biologically‐based method for the suppression of many insect pest populations. SIT efficacy could be improved by methods of male sterilization that avoid the use of irradiation that can result in diminished fitness and mating competitiveness.

Microtubule Inner Protein CFAP77 Contributes to Sperm Motility and Male Fertility in Mice

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Sperm motility is essential for male fertility, and its regulation is dependent on the structural integrity of the axoneme. The axoneme consists of a conserved “9+2” microtubule arrangement and is supported by microtubule inner proteins. However, the functional significance of many microtubule inner proteins remains unclear.

HEATR2 plays a conserved role in assembly of the ciliary motile apparatus.

PLoS Genetics, 2014
Cilia are highly conserved microtubule-based structures that perform a variety of sensory and motility functions during development and adult homeostasis.

Reconstruction of native cellular microanatomy in a novel bioengineered full thickness human nasal mucosal construct

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Bioengineered tissue constructs are vital technologies employed in in vitro testing of both fundamental biological principles and industrial screening practices. Current approaches to modelling the nasal mucosa in vitro are not representative and are associated with limitations that impact their reliability and predictive value.

Mitochondrial control of ciliary gene expression and structure in striatal neurons

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Neurons drive animal behaviour by receiving and transmitting information and require energy, primarily supplied by mitochondria, to function. Additionally, neurons need to sense environmental changes to adapt, a function that is locally played by the primary cilia.

Integrated control of axonemal dynein AAA+ motors [PDF]

Journal of Structural Biology, 2012
Axonemal dyneins are AAA(+) enzymes that convert ATP hydrolysis to mechanical work. This leads to the sliding of doublet microtubules with respect to each other and ultimately the generation of ciliary/flagellar beating. However, in order for useful work to be generated, the action of individual dynein motors must be precisely controlled.

Unraveling the Complexities of Kartagener's Syndrome: A Case of Bronchiectasis, Isolated Dextrocardia, and Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia in an Adult With Chronic Respiratory Symptoms

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Kartagener's Syndrome (KS), a rare autosomal recessive disorder and a subset of Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia (PCD), is characterized by chronic sinusitis, bronchiectasis, and, in approximately 50% of cases, situs inversus. This condition arises from genetic mutations that impair motile cilia function, leading to defective mucociliary clearance ...

Ciliary Defects in Inherited Retinal Diseases

Advanced Genetics, Volume 7, Issue 1, March 2026.
The photoreceptor cilium is a specialized sensory organelle essential for vision. This review systematically summarizes the structural and functional defects of the cilium that lead to inherited retinal diseases (IRDs). It highlights key pathogenic genes, elucidates molecular mechanisms of degeneration, and evaluates emerging therapeutic strategies ...

Mapping the Non‐Canonical Splicing Variants: Decrypting the Hidden Genetic Architecture of Idiopathic Male Infertility

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 9, 13 February 2026.
This study highlights the significance of non‐canonical splicing variants in male infertility, a factor often overlooked during the analysis of high‐throughput sequencing data. Incorporating the non‐canonical splicing variants prioritization in the genetic analysis pipeline will increase the genetic diagnosis of patients with male infertility ...
