Ciliopathies in pediatric endocrinology [PDF]
Ciliopathies are a group of disorders that involve many organs and systems. In this review, we consider the role of the cilium in multiorgan pathology with a focus on endocrinological aspects.

Golgi Dysfunctions in Ciliopathies
The Golgi apparatus (GA) is essential for intracellular sorting, trafficking and the targeting of proteins to specific cellular compartments. Anatomically, the GA spreads all over the cell but is also particularly enriched close to the base of the ...

Metabolic reprogramming in polycystic kidney disease and other renal ciliopathies [PDF]
Primary cilia are solitary organelles formed by a microtubule-based skeleton protruding in a single copy on the surface of most cells. Alterations in their function cause a plethora of human conditions collectively called the ciliopathies.

Compound Heterozygous Variants in the IFT140 Gene Associated with Skeletal Ciliopathies [PDF]
Ciliopathies are rare congenital disorders caused by defects in the structure or function of cilia, which can lead to a wide range of clinical manifestations. Among them, a subset known as skeletal ciliopathies exhibits significant phenotypic overlap and

Primary Cilia, Hypoxia, and Liver Dysfunction: A New Perspective on Biliary Atresia [PDF]
Ciliopathies are disorders that affect primary or secondary cellular cilia or structures associated with ciliary function. Primary cilia (PC) are essential for metabolic regulation and embryonic development, and pathogenic variants in cilia-related genes

Retinal primary cilia and their dysfunction in retinal neurodegenerative diseases: beyond ciliopathies [PDF]
Primary cilia are sensory organelles that extend from the cellular membrane and are found in a wide range of cell types. Cilia possess a plethora of vital components that enable the detection and transmission of several signaling pathways, including Wnt ...

Primary cilia-associated protein IFT172 in ciliopathies
Cilium is a highly conserved antenna-like structure protruding from the surface of the cell membrane, which is widely distributed on most mammalian cells. Two types of cilia have been described so far which include motile cilia and immotile cilia and the
