Wdpcp, a PCP Protein Required for Ciliogenesis, Regulates Directional Cell Migration and Cell Polarity by Direct Modulation of the Actin Cytoskeleton [PDF]
Planar cell polarity (PCP) regulates cell alignment required for collective cell movement during embryonic development. This requires PCP/PCP effector proteins, some of which also play essential roles in ciliogenesis, highlighting the long-standing ...

Developmental defects in motile cilia, arising from genetic abnormalities in one or more ciliary genes, can lead to a common ciliopathy known as primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD). Functional studies in model organisms undertaken to understand PCD or cilia

Biallelic FGF4 Variants Linked to Thoracic Dystrophy and Respiratory Insufficiency
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 ...

Ciliopathies: an expanding disease spectrum [PDF]
Ciliopathies comprise a group of disorders associated with genetic mutations encoding defective proteins, which result in either abnormal formation or function of cilia. As cilia are a component of almost all vertebrate cells, cilia dysfunction can manifest as a constellation of features that include characteristically, retinal degeneration, renal ...

An inducible CiliaGFP mouse model for in vivo visualization and analysis of cilia in live tissue [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Cilia are found on nearly every cell type in the mammalian body, and have been historically classified as either motile or immotile. Motile cilia are important for fluid and cellular movement; however, the roles of non-motile or primary cilia

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

A clinician's guide to the diagnosis and management of kidney cysts
Abstract Kidney cysts are frequently encountered as incidental findings on imaging studies and are typically benign in nature. However, certain cysts exhibit characteristics that may predispose them to malignant transformation. The Bosniak classification, based on contrast‐enhanced computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging, offers a systematic ...

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.

A Practical Guide to Genetic Eye Conditions for Paediatricians
ABSTRACT Introduction Inherited eye disorders, though individually rare, are a collectively common cause of paediatric vision impairment. Many occur as part of a syndrome, in association with congenital anomalies and/or growth/developmental disorders.
