Primary Cilia and Their Role in Acquired Heart Disease
Primary cilia are non-motile plasma membrane extrusions that display a variety of receptors and mechanosensors. Loss of function results in ciliopathies, which have been strongly linked with congenital heart disease, as well as abnormal development and ...

WDR11-mediated Hedgehog signalling defects underlie a new ciliopathy related to Kallmann syndrome [PDF]
WDR11 has been implicated in congenital hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (CHH) and Kallmann syndrome (KS), human developmental genetic disorders defined by delayed puberty and infertility. However, WDR11's role in development is poorly understood.

Background. Joubert syndrome (JS) is a rare autosomal recessive ciliopathy with an estimated prevalence of 1 in 100,000. JS is characterized by hyperpnoea, hypotonia, ataxia, developmental delay and various neuropathological abnormalities in the brain ...

TMEM218 dysfunction causes ciliopathies, including Joubert and Meckel syndromes
Summary: The Joubert-Meckel syndrome spectrum is a continuum of recessive ciliopathy conditions caused by primary cilium dysfunction. The primary cilium is a microtubule-based, antenna-like organelle that projects from the surface of most human cell ...

Morphological and Molecular Defects in Human Three-Dimensional Retinal Organoid Model of X-Linked Juvenile Retinoschisis [PDF]
X-linked juvenile retinoschisis (XLRS), linked to mutations in the RS1 gene, is a degenerative retinopathy with a retinal splitting phenotype. We generated human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) from patients to study XLRS in a 3D retinal organoid

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 open‐source, low‐cost 3D perfusion system integrating bioprinted scaffolds and live‐imaging overcomes 2D culture limitations. Modeling the cerebrospinal fluid‐filled subarachnoid space, it reveals flow‐dependent focal adhesion kinase activation in meningothelial cells, demonstrating a powerful platform for studying mechanobiology and creating ...

Ciliogenesis and the DNA damage response: A stressful relationship [PDF]
Both inherited and sporadic mutations can give rise to a plethora of human diseases. Through myriad diverse cellular processes, sporadic mutations can arise through a failure to accurately replicate the genetic code or by inaccurate separation of ...
