Mitochondrial control of ciliary gene expression and structure in striatal neurons

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Neurons drive animal behaviour by receiving and transmitting information and require energy, primarily supplied by mitochondria, to function. Additionally, neurons need to sense environmental changes to adapt, a function that is locally played by the primary cilia.

Ciliopathies: Genetics in Pediatric Medicine [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Pediatric Genetics, 2016
Ciliary disorders, which are also referred to as ciliopathies, are a group of hereditary disorders that result from dysfunctional cilia. The latter are cellular organelles that stick up from the apical plasma membrane. Cilia have important roles in signal transduction and facilitate communications between cells and their surroundings.

Taking Down the Primary Cilium: Pathways for Disassembly in Differentiating Cells

open access: yesBioEssays, Volume 47, Issue 11, November 2025.
Primary cilia are developmentally essential subcellular signaling compartments. However, many differentiated cells lack primary cilia, and cilia disassembly in these tissue contexts has been largely overlooked. We highlight several pathways for primary cilia loss and examine how changes in ciliation states could contribute to diverse pathologies ...

New Pathogenic Variant in the GLI3 Gene in the First Colombian Patient Associated With Pallister‐Hall Syndrome: A Clinical Report

open access: yesMolecular Genetics &Genomic Medicine, Volume 13, Issue 10, October 2025.
Pallister‐Hall syndrome: from phenotype to molecular diagnosis. ABSTRACT Background Pallister‐Hall syndrome (PHS) is an extremely rare genetic disorder. It presents as a polymalformative syndrome affecting craniofacial structures, the central nervous system, limbs, various internal organs, and the endocrine system.

Biallelic FGF4 Variants Linked to Thoracic Dystrophy and Respiratory Insufficiency

open access: yesClinical Genetics, Volume 108, Issue 4, Page 479-485, October 2025.
We report three people from two unrelated families with a clinical diagnosis of thoracic dystrophy characterized by short or missing ribs, narrow chest, and respiratory insufficiency. Affected people each have rare, biallelic, predicted deleterious missense substitutions in FGF4, a gene known to be essential for the formation of the thoracic skeleton ...

Primary Cilia Orchestrate Cardiac Pathogenesis: A Central Nexus of Remodeling, Signaling, and Repair

open access: yesCell Proliferation, Volume 58, Issue 10, October 2025.
Roles of primary cilia and the signals they transmit in the development of myocardial fibrogenesis, cardiac hypertrophy, and atrial fibrillation. Left, Fibroblasts can differentiate into myofibroblasts in response to TGF‐β1. TGF‐β1 stimulation via both paracrine action in the heart and exogenous action on primary cultured fibroblasts activated the ...

Crystal structure of intraflagellar transport protein 80 reveals a homo-dimer required for ciliogenesis

open access: yeseLife, 2018
Oligomeric assemblies of intraflagellar transport (IFT) particles build cilia through sequential recruitment and transport of ciliary cargo proteins within cilia.

Dysregulation of sonic hedgehog signaling causes hearing loss in ciliopathy mouse models

open access: yeseLife, 2020
Defective primary cilia cause a range of diseases known as ciliopathies, including hearing loss. The etiology of hearing loss in ciliopathies, however, remains unclear.

Educational paper [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Pediatrics, 2011
Cilia are antenna-like organelles found on the surface of most cells. They transduce molecular signals and facilitate interactions between cells and their environment. Ciliary dysfunction has been shown to underlie a broad range of overlapping, clinically and genetically heterogeneous phenotypes, collectively termed ciliopathies.
