Modulating primary cilia and cilia-dependent Shh signaling increases retinal ganglion cell survival by repressing astrocyte reactivity after optic nerve injury

Neurobiology of Disease
The primary cilia and cilia-dependent signaling are key regulators of neurodegenerative diseases. However, their roles in glaucoma and optic nerve injury remain largely unexplored.

Emerging Roles of Primary Cilia in Glioma

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2019
Primary cilia are microtubule-based organelles that are typically present on cells during the G0 or G1-S/G2 phases of the cell cycle. Recent studies of glioblastoma (GBM) biopsies, a brain tumor that is notorious for its aggressive growth and resistance ...

Chondrocyte expansion is associated with loss of primary cilia and disrupted hedgehog signalling [PDF]

European Cells & Materials, 2017
Tissue engineering-based therapies targeting cartilage diseases, such as osteoarthritis, require in vitro expansion of articular chondrocytes. A major obstacle for these therapies is the dedifferentiation and loss of phenotype accompanying chondrocyte ...

Chronic Hypoxia Disrupts Spermatogenesis Through ASXL2–EZH2–Mediated Microtubule Destabilization

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals the mechanism by which chronic hypoxia impairs spermatogenesis via the ASXL2–EZH2 axis, hindering the transition of spermatids from round to elongated forms. Key findings reveal that under hypoxic conditions, downregulated ASXL2 expression reduces EZH2 binding to the CEP162 promoter, leading to decreased H3K27me3 modification and ...

Direct recording and molecular identification of the calcium channel of primary cilia [PDF]

, 2014
Summary A primary cilium is a solitary slender non-motile protuberance of structured microtubules (9+0) enclosed by plasma membrane1. Housing components of the cell division apparatus between cell divisions, they also serve as specialized compartments ...

The emerging face of primary cilia [PDF]

genesis, 2011
AbstractPrimary cilia are microtubule‐based organelles that serve as hubs for the transduction of various developmental signaling pathways includingHedgehog, Wnt, FGF, and PDGF. Ciliary dysfunction contributes to a range of disorders, collectively known as the ciliopathies.

Engineered Living Systems With Self‐Organizing Neural Networks: From Anatomy to Behavior and Gene Expression

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Ectodermal tissue excised from Xenopus embryos self‐organizes into a three‐dimensional mucociliary organoid. Here, we generate a neural variant, termed neurobot, by implanting neural precursor cells. Neurobots develop mature neurons, adopt distinct morphologies, exhibit more complex motility, and respond differentially to neuroactive compounds. Imaging
