Primary Cilia Dysfunction in Neurodevelopmental Disorders beyond Ciliopathies
Primary cilia are specialized, microtubule-based structures projecting from the surface of most mammalian cells. These organelles are thought to primarily act as signaling hubs and sensors, receiving and integrating extracellular cues.

Rab7 regulates primary cilia disassembly through cilia excision [PDF]
The primary cilium is a sensory organelle that protrudes from the cell surface. Primary cilia undergo dynamic transitions between assembly and disassembly to exert their function in cell signaling. In this study, we identify the small GTPase Rab7 as a novel regulator of cilia disassembly.

Calcium channels in primary cilia [PDF]
Primary cilia have become important organelles implicated in embryonic development, organogenesis, health, and diseases. Although many studies in cell biology have focused on changes in ciliary length or ciliogenesis, the most common readout for evaluating ciliary function is intracellular calcium.Recent tools have allowed us to examine intracellular ...

Primary cilia: a novel research approach to overcome anticancer drug resistance
Primary cilia are cellular organelles that consist of a microtubule skeleton surrounded by a membrane filled with cell signaling receptors. Many studies have shown that primary cilia are cellular antennas, which serve as signaling hubs and their assembly

Quiescent melanocytes form primary cilia [PDF]
AbstractWe show, for the first time, that melanocytes can form a primary cilium in vitro, corresponding to an immotile or sensory cilium. Such cilia are observed when melanocytes reach confluence or when medium nutrient levels are insufficient. This observation should greatly improve our understanding of the signal transduction processes potentially ...

Primary cilia elongation in response to interleukin-1 mediates the inflammatory response [PDF]
Primary cilia are singular, cytoskeletal organelles present in the majority of mammalian cell types where they function as coordinating centres for mechanotransduction, Wnt and hedgehog signalling. The length of the primary cilium is proposed to modulate

Heat shock induces rapid resorption of primary cilia [PDF]
Primary cilia are involved in important developmental and disease pathways, such as the regulation of neurogenesis and tumorigenesis. They function as sensory antennae and are essential in the regulation of key extracellular signalling systems.

Subcellular localization of MC4R with ADCY3 at neuronal primary cilia underlies a common pathway for genetic predisposition to obesity. [PDF]
Most monogenic cases of obesity in humans have been linked to mutations in genes encoding members of the leptin-melanocortin pathway. Specifically, mutations in MC4R, the melanocortin-4 receptor gene, account for 3-5% of all severe obesity cases in ...

Primary cilia in neurodevelopmental disorders [PDF]
Primary cilia are generally solitary organelles that emanate from the surface of almost all vertebrate cell types. Until recently, details regarding the function of these structures were lacking; however, extensive evidence now suggests that primary cilia have critical roles in sensing the extracellular environment, and in coordinating developmental ...

In the adult mammalian brain, the apical surface of the subependymal zone (SEZ) is covered by many motile ependymal cilia and a few primary cilia originating from rare intermingled neural stem cells (NSCs).
