Motile cilia of the male reproductive system require miR-34/miR-449 for development and function to generate luminal turbulence

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2019
Significance Motile cilia are found lining the respiratory and reproductive systems, as well as the brain and spinal column, and the coordinated beat moves fluids over the luminal surfaces.

The Space Within: How Architected Voids Promote Tissue Formation

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
This review explores the role of void spaces in tissue engineering scaffolds and examines four key methods for introducing porosity into hydrogels at different scales. It discusses sacrificial templating, microgels, phase separation, and 3D printing, highlighting principles, advantages, and limitations. It also addresses emerging strategies integrating

Modelling the Fluid Mechanics of Cilia and Flagella in Reproduction and Development

open access: yes, 2012
Cilia and flagella are actively bending slender organelles, performing functions such as motility, feeding and embryonic symmetry breaking. We review the mechanics of viscous-dominated microscale flow, including time-reversal symmetry, drag anisotropy of

Optimized Whole-Mount Fluorescence Staining Protocol for Pulmonary Toxicity Evaluation Using Mouse Respiratory Epithelia

open access: yesMethods and Protocols
A straightforward whole-mount approach has been developed that uses fluorescence imaging, mouse trachea, and a range of off-the-shelf reagents for rapidly evaluating substance toxicity within the ciliated respiratory epithelium.

Phosphoinositide lipids in primary cilia biology

open access: yesBiochemical Journal, 2020
Primary cilia are solitary signalling organelles projecting from the surface of most cell types. Although the ciliary membrane is continuous with the plasma membrane it exhibits a unique phospholipid composition, a feature essential for normal cilia ...

Physical Intelligence in Small‐Scale Robots and Machines

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
“Physical intelligence” (PI) empowers biological organisms and artificial machines, especially at the small scales, to perceive, adapt, and even reshape their complex, dynamic, and unstructured operation environments. This review summarizes recent milestones and future directions of PI in small‐scale robots and machines.

Dual and opposing roles of primary cilia in medulloblastoma development. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Recent work has shown that primary cilia are essential for Hedgehog (Hh) signaling during mammalian development. It is also known that aberrant Hh signaling can lead to cancer, but the role of primary cilia in oncogenesis is not known. Cerebellar granule

Rab8a and Rab8b are essential for several apical transport pathways but insufficient for ciliogenesis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The small GTP-binding protein Rab8 is known to play an essential role in intracellular transport and cilia formation. We have previously demonstrated that Rab8a is required for localising apical markers in various organisms.

Heterogeneity of radial spoke components in Tetrahymena cilia

open access: yesCellular and Molecular Life Sciences
Radial spokes, RS1, RS2, and RS3, are T-shaped, multiprotein complexes that transmit regulatory signals from the central apparatus to outer doublet complexes, including dynein arms.
