A transgenic zebrafish for in vivo visualization of cilia

Open Biology, 2022
Cilia are organelles for cellular signalling and motility. Mutations affecting ciliary function are also associated with cilia-related disorders (ciliopathies).

Rapid Fabrication of Self‐Propelled and Steerable Magnetic Microcatheters for Precision Medicine

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A rapid Joule heating fabrication method for the production of self‐propelling, adaptive microcatheters, with tunable stiffness and integrated microfluidic channels is presented. Demonstrated through three microrobotic designs, including a steerable guiding catheter, an untethered wave‐crawling TubeBot, and a distal‐end propelled microcatheter, it was ...

PDE6δ-mediated sorting of INPP5E into the cilium is determined by cargo-carrier affinity [PDF]

, 2016
The phosphodiesterase 6 delta subunit (PDE6δ) shuttles several farnesylated cargos between membranes. The cargo sorting mechanism between cilia and other compartments is not understood.

ciliaFA : a research tool for automated, high-throughput measurement of ciliary beat frequency using freely available software [PDF]

, 2012
Background: Analysis of ciliary function for assessment of patients suspected of primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) and for research studies of respiratory and ependymal cilia requires assessment of both ciliary beat pattern and beat frequency.

ARL3 mutations cause Joubert syndrome by disrupting ciliary protein composition [PDF]

, 2018
Joubert syndrome (JBTS) is a genetically heterogeneous autosomal recessive neurodevelopmental ciliopathy. We investigated further the underlying genetic etiology of Joubert syndrome by studying two unrelated families in whom JBTS was not associated ...
