The primary cilium as a multiple cellular signaling scaffold in development and disease [PDF]

BMB Reports, 2012
Primary cilia, single hair-like appendage on the surface of themost mammalian cells, were once considered to be vestigialcellular organelles for a past century because of their tinystructure and unknown function.

An Aggregation‐Induced Polymerization Poly(Disulfide)‐Drug Nanoplatform for Autoimmune Uveitis Therapy via Inhibiting the cGAS‐STING Pathway

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A cationic poly(disulfide)‐drug nanoplatform (LA/DexP) was developed to treat experimental autoimmune uveitis (EAU). With potent blood‐retinal barrier penetrability, LA/DexP releases DSP in response to high ROS and scavenges cfDNA to inhibit the cGAS‐STING signaling pathway.

Molecular Engineering Boosts Photon‐Activated Immunotherapy for Prostate Cancer Through Concurrent Pyroptosis and cGAS‐STING Pathway Activation

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
The engineered DTSe‐based photosensitizer, DZTSe, emerges as an avant‐garde molecular entity, which can distribute to both the endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria to concurrently trigger pyroptosis and activate the cGAS‐STING pathway. This dual‐action strategy effectively reprograms the tumor microenvironment, enabling potent eradication of primary ...

Renal Tubular Epithelial CRLF1 Interacts With ITGB1 to Accelerate Fibrosis During the Transition From AKI to CKD

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
During renal fibrosis, SMAD3 acts as a transcription factor for CRLF1, promoting its expression and secretion. CRLF1 then binds to ITGB1 via an autocrine mechanism, activating the PI3K‐AKT signaling pathway to mediate renal fibrosis. This accelerates the progression from AKI to CKD, highlighting the therapeutic potential of targeting CRLF1 for ...

Small‐Scale Magnetic Peristaltic Soft Robot With Mobility and Transport Capabilities

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study introduces a miniature, untethered soft magnetic microrobot with peristaltic capabilities for both locomotion and cargo transport. Eight helically magnetized elastomeric strips deform under rotating fields (10–80 mT, 1–5 Hz), enabling movement across rods and lumina at up to 4.1 body lengths min‐¹.

Type 3 Adenylyl Cyclase and Somatostatin Receptor 3 Expression Persists in Aged Rat Neocortical and Hippocampal Neuronal Cilia

Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2016
The primary cilia of forebrain neurons assemble around birth and become enriched with neuromodulatory receptors. Our understanding of the permanence of these structures and their associated signaling pathways in the aging brain is poor, but they are ...

Streamlining Diagnosis of Bardet–Biedl Syndrome: New Diagnostic Algorithm With Updated Criteria

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Considerable advances have been made in our understanding of Bardet–Biedl syndrome (BBS), particularly in its core clinical features and molecular genetics, warranting an update to the existing diagnostic criteria framework. Using a rigorous, evidence‐based, and consensus‐driven process, a multidisciplinary group of international experts and ...

Biofilm Exoproteins From Staphylococcus Species Impede Re‐Epithelialization of Nasal Epithelial Cells During Wound Healing and Cease Ciliary Beat Frequency

International Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is an inflammatory disease with many different contributing factors, including bacterial infection. CRS patients are typically managed with medical therapies; however, these treatments frequently fail, leaving surgery as the only viable option.

Introduction to Primary Cilia

The FASEB Journal, 2006
Primary cilia are cellular antennae that are found on a variety of human cells, including kidney tubule and bile duct epithelia, chondrocytes and fibroblasts, neurons and glia. Primary cilia are built in the same manner as motile 9+2 cilia of all organisms, using specialized molecular motors for transport of protein building blocks.

Female‐Specific Risk of TAS2R Variants in Chronic Rhinosinusitis: A Hospital‐Based Cohort Study From the Taiwan Precision Medicine Initiative

International Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Bitter taste receptors (T2Rs) function in the innate immune defense of the sinonasal mucosa; however, the genetic association between the TAS2R gene family and chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) remains understudied in Asian populations.
