Cilia Action in Islets: Lessons From Mouse Models

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2022
Primary cilia as a signaling organelle have garnered recent attention as a regulator of pancreatic islet function. These rod-like sensors exist on all major islet endocrine cell types and transduce a variety of external cues, while dysregulation of cilia

Cilia – the masterplan [PDF]

open access: yesJournal 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.

Cilia at the node of mouse embryos sense fluid flow for left-right determination via Pkd2 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Unidirectional fluid flow plays an essential role in the breaking of left-right (L-R) symmetry in mouse embryos, but it has remained unclear how the flow is sensed by the embryo.

Smoking is associated with shortened airway cilia. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2009
BACKGROUND:Whereas cilia damage and reduced cilia beat frequency have been implicated as causative of reduced mucociliary clearance in smokers, theoretically mucociliary clearance could also be affected by cilia length.

The Male Mouse Meiotic Cilium Emanates from the Mother Centriole at Zygotene Prior to Centrosome Duplication

open access: yesCells, 2022
Cilia are hair-like projections of the plasma membrane with an inner microtubule skeleton known as axoneme. Motile cilia and flagella beat to displace extracellular fluids, playing important roles in the airways and reproductive system.

Uni-directional ciliary membrane protein trafficking by a cytoplasmic retrograde IFT motor and ciliary ectosome shedding [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The role of the primary cilium in key signaling pathways depends on dynamic regulation of ciliary membrane protein composition, yet we know little about the motors or membrane events that regulate ciliary membrane protein trafficking in existing ...

CFAP53 regulates mammalian cilia-type motility patterns through differential localization and recruitment of axonemal dynein components.

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2020
Motile cilia can beat with distinct patterns, but how motility variations are regulated remain obscure. Here, we have studied the role of the coiled-coil protein CFAP53 in the motility of different cilia-types in the mouse.

Coordination of Cilia Movements in Multi-Ciliated Cells

open access: yesJournal of Developmental Biology, 2022
Multiple motile cilia are formed at the apical surface of multi-ciliated cells in the epithelium of the oviduct or the fallopian tube, the trachea, and the ventricle of the brain. Those cilia beat unidirectionally along the tissue axis, and this provides

The IDA3 adapter, required for intraflagellar transport of I1 dynein, is regulated by ciliary length [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Axonemal dyneins, including inner dynein arm I1, assemble in the cytoplasm prior to transport into cilia by intraflagellar transport (IFT). How I1 dynein interacts with IFT is not understood.

Neuronal cilia in energy homeostasis

open access: yesFrontiers 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 ...
