A new mouse model for the neurodevelopmental ciliopathy Joubert syndrome [PDF]
Recent recognition of the key role of primary cilia in orchestrating human development and of the dire consequences of their dysfunction on human health has placed this small organelle in the spotlight.

ABSTRACT Objectives Children and young patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at persistent risk of gingivitis despite usual preventive measures. This clinical study aimed to determine the efficacy of an intensive oral preventive programme (OPP) for young patients with CKD in treating plaque‐induced gingivitis modified by systemic factors ...

Phosphoinositide lipids in primary cilia biology [PDF]
Primary cilia are solitary signalling organelles projecting from the surface of most cell types. Although the ciliary membrane is continuous with the plasma membrane it exhibits a unique phospholipid composition, a feature essential for normal cilia ...

ARMC9 and TOGARAM1 define a Joubert syndrome-associated protein module that regulates axonemal post-translational modifications and cilium stability [PDF]
Joubert syndrome (JBTS) is a recessive neurodevelopmental ciliopathy, characterized by a pathognomonic hindbrain malformation. All known JBTS-genes encode proteins involved in the structure or function of primary cilia, ubiquitous antenna-like organelles

The proper development of the vocal cords requires embryos to contain a certain number of progenitor cells, and mutations that lead to an overflow of cells can cause malformations of the voice box.

Motile and non-motile cilia in human pathology: from function to phenotypes [PDF]
Ciliopathies are inherited human disorders caused by both motile and non-motile cilia dysfunction that form an important and rapidly expanding disease category. Ciliopathies are complex conditions to diagnose, being multisystem disorders characterized by

Primary cilia are hair-like organelles expressed by almost every cell in the body. Although they were first recognized at the end of the 19th century, their functions remained obscure until the last decade. It is increasingly recognized that disorders of cilia structure or function underlie a number of rare human genetic diseases that affect the kidney

Disease-Associated Mutations in CEP120 Destabilize the Protein and Impair Ciliogenesis
Ciliopathies are a group of genetic disorders caused by a failure to form functional cilia. Due to a lack of structural information, it is currently poorly understood how ciliopathic mutations affect protein functionality to give rise to the underlying ...
