Cells, 2022 Motile cilia and eukaryotic flagella are specific cell protrusions that are conserved from protists to humans. They are supported by a skeleton composed of uniquely organized microtubules—nine peripheral doublets and two central singlets (9 × 2 + 2 ...

Heat shock induces rapid resorption of primary cilia [PDF]
, 2012 Primary cilia are involved in important developmental and disease pathways, such as the regulation of neurogenesis and tumorigenesis. They function as sensory antennae and are essential in the regulation of key extracellular signalling systems.

Interleukin-1β sequesters hypoxia inducible factor 2α to the primary cilium. [PDF]
, 2013 BACKGROUND: The primary cilium coordinates signalling in development, health and disease. Previously we have shown that the cilium is essential for the anabolic response to loading and the inflammatory response to interleukin-1β (IL-1β).

Intraflagellar Transport Proteins as Regulators of Primary Cilia Length
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 Primary cilia are small, antenna-like organelles that detect and transduce chemical and mechanical cues in the extracellular environment, regulating cell behavior and, in turn, tissue development and homeostasis.

Primary cilia elongation in response to interleukin-1 mediates the inflammatory response [PDF]
, 2012 Primary cilia are singular, cytoskeletal organelles present in the majority of mammalian cell types where they function as coordinating centres for mechanotransduction, Wnt and hedgehog signalling. The length of the primary cilium is proposed to modulate

Journal of Cell Science, 2008 Descriptive has almost become a dirty word in modern cell biology. To describe something is viewed as a suitable pastime for the amateur, but hardly an occupation for the serious modern scientist.

Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology, 2017 The ciliopathies Bardet-Biedl syndrome and Alström syndrome cause obesity. How ciliary dysfunction leads to obesity has remained mysterious, partly because of a lack of understanding of the physiological roles of primary cilia in the organs and pathways involved in the regulation of metabolism and energy homeostasis.

Effects of Sesquiterpene Lactones on Primary Cilia Formation (Ciliogenesis)
Toxins, 2023 Sesquiterpene lactones (SLs), plant-derived metabolites with broad spectra of biological effects, including anti-tumor and anti-inflammatory, hold promise for drug development.

Airway ciliated cells in adult lung homeostasis and COPD
European Respiratory Review, 2023 Cilia are organelles emanating from the cell surface, consisting of an axoneme of microtubules that extends from a basal body derived from the centrioles. They are either isolated and nonmotile (primary cilia), or grouped and motile (motile cilia). Cilia

Functional modulation of IFT kinesins extends the sensory repertoire of ciliated neurons in Caenorhabditis elegans [PDF]
, 2006 The diversity of sensory cilia on Caenorhabditis elegans neurons allows the animal to detect a variety of sensory stimuli. Sensory cilia are assembled by intraflagellar transport (IFT) kinesins, which transport ciliary precursors, bound to IFT particles,
