The primary cilium conducts chondrocyte mechanotransduction [PDF]
In several cell types fluid-flow deflection of primary cilia initiates a mechanotransduction pathway via polycystin 1 and 2 (PC1/2). In articular cartilage the chondrocyte primary cilium extends into cartilage matrix. Mechanical signals including compression and fluid flow trigger mechanosensitive regulation of matrix synthesis underpinning tissue ...

Functional aspects of primary cilium in signaling, assembly and microenvironment in cancer
The primary cilium is an antennae‐like structure extent outside the cell surface. It has an important role in regulating cell‐signaling transduction to affect proliferation, differentiation and migration.

Generic flow profiles induced by a beating cilium [PDF]
We describe a multipole expansion for the low Reynolds number fluid flows generated by a localized source embedded in a plane with a no-slip boundary condition. It contains 3 independent terms that fall quadratically with the distance and 6 terms that fall with the third power.

Uni-directional ciliary membrane protein trafficking by a cytoplasmic retrograde IFT motor and ciliary ectosome shedding [PDF]
The role of the primary cilium in key signaling pathways depends on dynamic regulation of ciliary membrane protein composition, yet we know little about the motors or membrane events that regulate ciliary membrane protein trafficking in existing ...

Pathophysiology of Primary Cilia: Signaling and Proteostasis Regulation
Primary cilia are microtubule-based, non-motile sensory organelles present in most types of growth-arrested eukaryotic cells. They are transduction hubs that receive and transmit external signals to the cells in order to control growth, differentiation ...

Excitable mechanics embodied in a walking cilium [PDF]
Rapid transduction of sensory stimulation to action is essential for an animal to survive. To this end, most animals use the sub-second excitable and multistable dynamics of a neuromuscular system. Here, studying an animal without neurons or muscles, we report analogous excitable and multistable dynamics embedded in the physics of a 'walking' cilium ...
