Biciliated ependymal cell proliferation contributes to spinal cord growth [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Two neurogenic regions have been described in the adult brain, the lateral ventricle subventricular zone and the dentate gyrus subgranular zone. It has been suggested that neural stem cells also line the central canal of the adult spinal cord.

Post‐LECA Origin and Diversification of an Axonemal Outer Arm Dynein Motor

open access: yesCytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Dyneins were present in the last eukaryotic common ancestor (LECA) and play key roles in eukaryotic biology. Axonemal dyneins form the inner and outer arms that power ciliary beating, and it has long been recognized that outer arms in some organisms contain two different heavy chain motors, whereas those from other species contain a third unit

The master cell cycle regulator APC-Cdc20 regulates ciliary length and disassembly of the primary cilium [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The primary cilium has an important role in signaling; defects in structure are associated with a variety of human diseases. Much of the most basic biology of this organelle is poorly understood, even basic mechanisms, such as control of growth and ...

Endometrial Stromal Cell Senescence: A Non‐Negligible Factor in Recurrent Pregnancy Loss

open access: yesiMetaMed, EarlyView.
As populations age, links between female reproductive aging and infertility are increasingly evident. Cellular senescence, characterized by near‐irreversible cell‐cycle arrest and accumulation of damage, can impair tissue function. In the endometrium, aberrant senescence of endometrial stromal cells (EnSCs) may compromise receptivity, hinder embryo ...

Repression of GW/P body components and the RNAi microprocessor impacts primary ciliogenesis in human astrocytes

open access: yesBMC Cell Biology, 2011
Background In most cells, the centriolar component of the centrosome can function as a basal body supporting the formation of a primary cilium, a non-motile sensory organelle that monitors information from the extracellular matrix and relays stimuli into

Resting cells rely on the DNA helicase component MCM2 to build cilia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Minichromosome maintenance (MCM) proteins facilitate replication by licensing origins and unwinding the DNA double strand. Interestingly, the number of MCM hexamers greatly exceeds the number of firing origins suggesting additional roles of MCMs. Here we

Evaluation of Acute Exposure to Combustible and Novel Tobacco Products Using an In Vitro Human Airway Organ Tissue Equivalent Model

open access: yesJournal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
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.

Disruption of Mks1 localization to the mother centriole causes cilia defects and developmental malformations in Meckel-Gruber syndrome

open access: yesDisease Models & Mechanisms, 2011
SUMMARY Meckel-Gruber syndrome (MKS) is a recessive disorder resulting in multiple birth defects that are associated with mutations affecting ciliogenesis.

Case series: Joubert syndrome and eosinophilic esophagitis

open access: yesJPGN Reports, EarlyView.
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.

Epigenetic Dysregulation of the NKX2‐1/SPDEF Axis Drives Persistent Goblet Cell Differentiation and Epithelial Barrier Dysfunction in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

open access: yesRespirology, EarlyView.
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.
