Heat shock induces rapid resorption of primary cilia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Primary cilia are involved in important developmental and disease pathways, such as the regulation of neurogenesis and tumorigenesis. They function as sensory antennae and are essential in the regulation of key extracellular signalling systems.

The dynamic cilium in human diseases [PDF]

open access: yesPathoGenetics, 2009
Cilia are specialized organelles protruding from the cell surface of almost all mammalian cells. They consist of a basal body, composed of two centrioles, and a protruding body, named the axoneme. Although the basic structure of all cilia is the same, numerous differences emerge in different cell types, suggesting diverse functions.

Unprecedented Combination of Polyketide Natural Product Fragments Identifies the New Hedgehog Signaling Pathway Inhibitor Grismonone

open access: yesChemistry – A European Journal, Volume 28, Issue 67, December 1, 2022., 2022
The chemical evolution of polyketide natural products leads to the unprecedented combination of biosynthetically related fragments in arrangements not found in Nature. The pseudo‐natural product grismonone was identified to be a potent inhibitor of Hedgehog signaling – a bioactivity that is not shared by its guiding fragments.

Primary Cilia in Pancreatic β- and α-Cells: Time to Revisit the Role of Insulin-Degrading Enzyme

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2022
The primary cilium is a narrow organelle located at the surface of the cell in contact with the extracellular environment. Once underappreciated, now is thought to efficiently sense external environmental cues and mediate cell-to-cell communication ...

Primary cilia disassembly down-regulates mechanosensitive hedgehog signalling: a feedback mechanism controlling ADAMTS-5 expression in chondrocytes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
SummaryObjectiveHedgehog signalling is mediated by the primary cilium and promotes cartilage degeneration in osteoarthritis. Primary cilia are influenced by pathological stimuli and cilia length and prevalence are increased in osteoarthritic cartilage ...

Primary cilium: a paradigm for integrating mathematical modeling with experiments and numerical simulations in mechanobiology

open access: yesMathematical Biosciences and Engineering, 2021
Primary cilia are non-motile, solitary (one per cell) microtubule-based organelles that emerge from the mother centriole after cells have exited the mitotic cycle.

Mixing and transport by ciliary carpets: a numerical study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
We use a 3D computational model to study the fluid transport and mixing due to the beating of an infinite array of cilia. In accord with recent experiments, we observe two distinct regions: a fluid transport region above the cilia and a fluid mixing ...

Thermodynamic cost of synchronizing a population of beating cilia [PDF]

open access: yesJ. Stat. Mech. (2020) 074001, 2020
Synchronization among arrays of beating cilia is one of the emergent phenomena in biological processes at meso-scopic scales. Strong inter-ciliary couplings modify the natural beating frequencies, $\omega$, of individual cilia to produce a collective motion that moves around a group frequency $\omega_m$.

Molecular characterization of the immediate wound response of the solitary ascidian Polycarpa mytiligera

open access: yesDevelopmental Dynamics, Volume 251, Issue 12, Page 1968-1981, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Background Injury response is key to successful regeneration. Yet, transcriptome analyses of injury response were performed only on a handful of regenerative organisms. Here, we studied the injury response of the solitary ascidian Polycarpa mytiligera, an emerging model system, capable of regenerating any body part.
