Depletion of the RNA‐Editing Enzyme ADAR1 Invigorates the Antitumor Immunity of NK Cells

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ADAR1 is upregulated in NK cells from melanoma patients, impairing their function. Its loss enhances NK cell tumor infiltration and cytotoxicity in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, ADAR1 deficiency destabilizes CD38 mRNA to reduce its expression, thereby increasing NK cell mobility and killing, which nominates it as a therapeutic target for NK cell ...

Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia and Retinitis Pigmentosa: Novel RPGR Variant and Possible Modifier Gene

Cells
We report a novel RPGR missense variant co-segregated with a familial X-linked retinitis pigmentosa (XLRP) case. The brothers were hemizygous for this variant, but only the proband presented with primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD).

Primary cilia are specialized calcium signaling organelles [PDF]

, 2014
Summary Primary cilia are solitary nonmotile extensions of the centriole found on nearly all nucleated eukaryotic cells between cell divisions. Only ∼200-300 nm in diameter and a few microns long, they are separated from the cytoplasm by the ciliary neck

Screw‐Based Pill for Intelligent Robotic Extraction of Viscous Fluids in Medical Applications

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Screw‐based pill for intelligent robotic extraction (S‐PIRE) is a magnetically actuated smart capsule with a motorized screw, 3‐axis sensor, and Bluetooth control for site‐specific and minimally invasive remote sampling of viscous fluids, overcoming passive diffusion limitations.

Mimicking Life: Autonomous Oscillating Artificial Cilia Driven by Chemical Power

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
The synthesis and motion analysis of chemically actuated, individually autonomous artificial cilia are presented. Driven by an internal chemical reaction, the self‐driven individual cilia require no external stimuli. They undergo periodic oscillatory motion with a 3D beat pattern and exhibit chemotactic shifts, reminiscent of biological systems.

Role of the microtubules in the electrical activity of the primary cilium of renal epithelial cells

Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2023
The primary cilium is a non-motile sensory organelle that transduces environmental cues into cellular responses. It comprises an axoneme, a core of nine doublet microtubules (MTs) coated by a specialized membrane populated by receptors, and a high ...

Unveiling a New Link: Cholesterol Deficiency in Smith–Lemli–Opitz and Niemann–Pick C as a Driver of Ciliopathies

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The ciliopathies are a group of genetic disorders caused by defective function of either the primary cilia (a large number) or the motile cilia (a much smaller number). These have been defined as diseases with mutations in genes encoding individual ciliary or cilia‐associated proteins.

Physics of Microswimmers - Single Particle Motion and Collective Behavior

, 2014
Locomotion and transport of microorganisms in fluids is an essential aspect of life. Search for food, orientation toward light, spreading of off-spring, and the formation of colonies are only possible due to locomotion.
