Unwrapping the Ciliary Coat: High‐Resolution Structure and Function of the Ciliary Glycocalyx
The ciliary membrane is decorated in glycosylated proteins that define the interaction of the cilium with its environment. The main component of the ciliary coat of the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, FMG1, is characterized by cryo‐electron microscopy, proteomics, and live cell microscopy with flow‐based adhesion assays.

Metformin does not slow cyst growth in the PCK rat model of polycystic kidney disease
Metformin (MET) has the potential to activate p‐AMPK and block mTORC1‐induced proliferation of tubular cells in PKD kidneys. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of MET on cyst growth, kidney function, AMPK and mTOR signaling, and lactate ...

Challenging Disease Ontology by Instances of Atypical PKHD1 and PKD1 Genetics [PDF]
Background: Autosomal polycystic kidney disease is distinguished into dominant (ADPKD) and recessive (ARPKD) inheritance usually caused by either monoallelic (PKD1/PKD2) or biallelic (PKHD1) germline variation.

It is increasingly recognized that young, chow‐fed inbred mice poorly model the complexity of human carcinogenesis in multiple respects. In humans, age and adiposity are the major risk factors for the majority of malignancies. Although the development of genetically engineered mouse models (GEMM) of cancer has recapitulated many aspects of human cancer,

This study analyzed targeted sequencing of 6530 patients with metastatic Chinese colorectal cancer (CRC), identifying 36 novel driver genes with subgroup‐specific implications, such as ERBB4 affecting only male CRC patient outcomes. Additionally, the study utilized network‐based stratification to categorize microsatellite stable (MSS) and unstable (MSI)

Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease: the prototype of the hepato-renal fibrocystic diseases [PDF]
Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) is a severe, typically early onset form of renal cystic disease. The care of ARPKD patients has traditionally been the purview of pediatric nephrologists for management of systemic hypertension and ...
