Synthesis and biological evaluation of heteroarylnitrile derivatives for motile ciliogenesis
Motile cilia play a critical role in maintaining tissue homeostasis by driving fluid movement and clearing inhaled particles or pathogens. Dysfunction of these organelles underlies a range of ciliopathies, most notably affecting the respiratory system ...

ABSTRACT Despite the well‐known risks of tobacco use, tobacco exposure remains a major contributor to morbidity and mortality worldwide. Although cigarette use has declined, the popularity of novel tobacco products (NTPs), such as electronic cigarettes (ECs) and heated tobacco products (HTPs), has increased.

Planar Polarity of Motile Cilia
The ability of ciliated epithelia to generate directed fluid flow is a critical aspect of diverse developmental and physiological processes, including neuroblast migration and proper respiratory function. To achieve directed flow, each ciliated cell needs to generate 100–200 cilia that are coordinately polarized along a common axis both within and ...

Summary: Motile cilia and flagella require ATP for their formation and function. Although glycolytic enzymes are components of flagellar proteomes, how they translocate to flagella is unknown.

Directional cerebrospinal fluid movement between brain ventricles in larval zebrafish [PDF]
Background Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) contained within the brain ventricles contacts neuroepithelial progenitor cells during brain development. Dynamic properties of CSF movement may limit locally produced factors to specific regions of the developing ...

Case series: Joubert syndrome and eosinophilic esophagitis
Abstract Joubert syndrome (JS) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by developmental abnormalities, particularly in the brainstem and cerebellar vermis, alongside multisystem manifestations such as kidney and liver anomalies, polydactyly, cleft lip or palate, and tongue defects.

Electron cryotomography of intact motile cilia defines the basal body to axoneme transition
Greenan et al. use electron cryotomography on intact motile cilia to elucidate how basal bodies template the formation of motile axonemes.

This study investigated airway epithelial barrier dysfunction persistence in ex‐smokers with COPD and underlying mechanisms using single‐cell RNA and ATAC sequencing. Epigenetic NKX2‐1/SPDEF dysregulation maintains goblet cell hyperplasia and barrier dysfunction despite long‐term smoking cessation.

Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia: An Update on Clinical Aspects, Genetics, Diagnosis, and Future Treatment Strategies [PDF]
Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is an orphan disease (MIM 244400), autosomal recessive inherited, characterized by motile ciliary dysfunction. The estimated prevalence of PCD is 1:10,000 to 1:20,000 live-born children, but true prevalence could be even ...

Cryo-electron tomography of motile cilia and flagella [PDF]
Cryo-electron tomography has been a valuable tool in the analysis of 3D structures of cilia at molecular and cellular levels. It opened a way to reconstruct 3D conformations of proteins in cilia at 3-nm resolution, revealed networks of a number of component proteins in cilia, and has even allowed the study of component dynamics.
