Diverged morphology changes of astrocytic and neuronal primary cilia under reactive insults
Molecular Brain, 2020 Primary cilia are centriole-derived sensory organelles that are present in most mammalian cells, including astrocytes and neurons. Evidence is emerging that astrocyte and neuronal primary cilia demonstrate a dichotomy in the mature mouse brain.

Neuronal cilia in energy homeostasis
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 A subset of genetic disorders termed ciliopathies are associated with obesity. The mechanisms behind cilia dysfunction and altered energy homeostasis in these syndromes are complex and likely involve deficits in both development and adult homeostasis ...

Current Osteoporosis Reports, 2023 Abstract Purpose of Review The purpose of this review is to provide a background on osteocytes and the primary cilium, discussing the role it plays in osteocyte mechanosensing. Recent Findings Osteocytes are thought to be the primary mechanosensing cells in bone tissue ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Septin 9 polybasic domains couple phosphoinositide‐rich membrane binding to centrosome positioning, Golgi organization, and microtubule acetylation to control epithelial polarity. Their loss disrupts this axis, causing centrosome mispositioning, Golgi fragmentation, reduced microtubule acetylation, and polarity inversion via upregulation of the ...

Tau-tubulin kinase 2 restrains microtubule-depolymerizer KIF2A to support primary cilia growth
Cell Communication and SignalingBackground Primary cilia facilitate cellular signalling and play critical roles in development, homeostasis, and disease. Their assembly is under the control of Tau-Tubulin Kinase 2 (TTBK2), a key enzyme mutated in patients with spinocerebellar ataxia ...

Fluorescence imaging of beta cell primary cilia
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022 Primary cilia are slender cell-surface organelles that project into the intercellular space. In pancreatic beta cells, primary cilia coordinate a variety of cell responses including GPCR signaling, calcium influx, and insulin secretion, along with likely

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Glioma cells mainly express the endothelin receptor EDNRB, while EDNRA is restricted to a perivascular tumor subpopulation. Endothelin signaling reduces glioma cell proliferation while promoting migration and a proneural‐to‐mesenchymal transition associated with poor prognosis. This pathway activates Ca2+, K+, ERK, and STAT3 signalings and is regulated

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 Cilia are evolutionarily highly conserved organelles with important functions in many organs. The extracellular component of the cilium protruding from the plasma membrane comprises an axoneme composed of microtubule doublets, arranged in a 9 + 0 ...

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.This review examines how cellular behavior is regulated by mechanical cues transmitted through soft biomaterials, from single‐cell mechanosensing to tissue‐level adaptation. It highlights why physiological relevance, rather than model complexity alone, is critical for translational mechanobiology and introduces a scoring framework linking material ...
