eLife, 2018 Mutations in the polycystin genes, PKD1 or PKD2, results in Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD). Although a genetic basis of ADPKD is established, we lack a clear understanding of polycystin proteins’ functions as ion channels.

Mechanosensation and the primary cilium
The FASEB Journal, 2008 The primary cilium has come under increased scrutiny as a site for mechano‐ and chemosensation by cells. We have undertaken a program of study using mouse renal cell lines from the cortical collecting duct and to quantify how mechanical forces arising from fluid shear transduce to a cellular response.

Histone Deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) in Ciliopathies: Emerging Insights and Therapeutic Implications
Advanced Science, EarlyView.HDAC6 regulates primary cilia, crucial for cellular signalling and environmental responses. Dysregulation of HDAC6 contributes to ciliopathies, affecting multiple organs. This review examines HDAC6's role in ciliogenesis, its interaction with signaling molecules, and its potential as a therapeutic target.

The Geometry of Ciliary Dynamics [PDF]
, 2009 Cilia are motile biological appendages that are driven to bend by internal shear stresses between tubulin filaments. A continuum model of ciliary material is constructed that incorporates the essential ciliary constraints: (1) one-dimensional inextensibility of filaments, (2) three-dimensional incompressibility, and (3) shear strain only along ...

A novel Cep120-dependent mechanism inhibits centriole maturation in quiescent cells [PDF]
, 2018 The two centrioles of the centrosome in quiescent cells are inherently asymmetric structures that differ in age, morphology and function. How these asymmetric properties are established and maintained during quiescence remains unknown. Here, we show that

Advanced Science, EarlyView.An open‐source, low‐cost 3D perfusion system integrating bioprinted scaffolds and live‐imaging overcomes 2D culture limitations. Modeling the cerebrospinal fluid‐filled subarachnoid space, it reveals flow‐dependent focal adhesion kinase activation in meningothelial cells, demonstrating a powerful platform for studying mechanobiology and creating ...

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 67, Issue 12, Page 2706-2717, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Lobate ctenophores are often numerically dominant members of oceanic epipelagic and midwater ecosystems. Despite this, little is known about their trophic ecology. Multiple, co‐occurring species are often found in these ecosystems and appear to feed similarly via feeding currents that entrain prey.

Retinitis Pigmentosa GTPase Regulator (RPGR) protein isoforms in mammalian retina:insights into X-linked Retinitis Pigmentosa and associated ciliopathies [PDF]
, 2008 Mutations in the cilia-centrosomal protein Retinitis Pigmentosa GTPase Regulator (RPGR) are a frequent cause of retinal degeneration. The RPGR gene undergoes complex alternative splicing and encodes multiple protein isoforms. To elucidate the function of
