Targeting of CRMP-2 to the primary cilium is modulated by GSK-3β. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
CRMP-2 plays a pivotal role in promoting axon formation, neurite outgrowth and elongation in neuronal cells. CRMP-2's role in other cells is unknown. Our preliminary results showed CRMP-2 expression in cilia of fibroblasts. To localize CRMP-2, define its

The chondrocyte primary cilium [PDF]

open access: yesOsteoarthritis and Cartilage, 2014
The presence and role of primary, or non-motile, cilia on chondrocytes has confused cartilage researchers for decades. Initial explanations attributed a vestigial nature to chondrocyte cilia. Evidence is now emerging that supports the role of the chondrocyte primary cilium as a sensory organelle, in particular, in mechanotransduction and as a ...

Ciliary control of adipocyte progenitor cell fate regulates energy storage

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022
The primary cilium is a cellular sensory organelle found in most cells in our body. This includes adipocyte progenitor cells in our adipose tissue, a complex organ involved in energy storage, endocrine signaling, and thermogenesis.

Assembling a primary cilium [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Opinion in Cell Biology, 2013
Cilia are evolutionarily conserved, membrane-bound, microtubular projections emanating from the cell surface. They are assembled on virtually all cell types in the human body, with very few exceptions, and several recent reviews have covered the topic in great detail.

Primary Cilia in Pancreatic β- and α-Cells: Time to Revisit the Role of Insulin-Degrading Enzyme

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2022
The primary cilium is a narrow organelle located at the surface of the cell in contact with the extracellular environment. Once underappreciated, now is thought to efficiently sense external environmental cues and mediate cell-to-cell communication ...

Melanocortin 4 receptor signals at the neuronal primary cilium to control food intake and body weight.

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Investigation, 2021
The melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4R) plays a critical role in the long-term regulation of energy homeostasis, and mutations in the MC4R are the most common cause of monogenic obesity.

Hedgehog signaling and the primary cilium: implications for spatial and temporal constraints on signaling.

open access: yesDevelopment, 2021
The mechanisms of vertebrate Hedgehog signaling are linked to the biology of the primary cilium, an antenna-like organelle that projects from the surface of most vertebrate cell types.

CRB3 navigates Rab11 trafficking vesicles to promote γTuRC assembly during ciliogenesis

open access: yeseLife, 2023
The primary cilium plays important roles in regulating cell differentiation, signal transduction, and tissue organization. Dysfunction of the primary cilium can lead to ciliopathies and cancer.

Primary cilium-mediated MSC mechanotransduction is dependent on Gpr161 regulation of hedgehog signalling.

open access: yesBone, 2021
The benefits of physical loading to skeletal mass is well known. The primary cilium has emerged as an important organelle in bone mechanobiology/mechanotransduction, particularly in mesenchymal stem/stromal cells, yet the molecular mechanisms of cilium ...
