In vertebrates, multiciliated cells (MCCs) are terminally differentiated cells that line the
airway tracts, brain ventricles, and reproductive ducts. Each MCC contains dozens to …

The primary cilium is a conserved microtubule-based organelle that is critical for transducing
developmental, sensory and homeostatic signaling pathways. It comprises an axoneme with …

Primary cilia are sensory organelles that coordinate diverse signaling pathways, controlling
development and homeostasis. Progression beyond the early steps of ciliogenesis requires …

The epidermis is a stratified squamous epithelium distributed in the outermost layer of the
skin and is intimately involved in the formation of a physical barrier to pathogens. Basal …

Primary cilia are hair-like structures that protrude from the cell surface. They are capable of
sensing external cues and conveying a vast array of signals into cells to regulate a variety of …

The primary cilium is an antenna-like projection from the plasma membrane that serves as a
sensor of the extracellular environment and a crucial signaling hub. Primary cilia are …

Primary cilia, microtubule‐based protrusions present on the surface of most mammalian
cells, function as sensory organelles that monitor extracellular signals and transduce them …

Phagocytosis of shed photoreceptor outer segments by the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE)
is essential for retinal homeostasis. Dysregulation of the phagocytotic process is associated …

The primary cilium is increasingly recognized as a crucial player in the physiology of biliary
epithelial cells (BECs). However, the precise role of primary cilia in the development of age …

Production of melanin pigments is a protective mechanism of the skin against ultraviolet
(UV)-induced damage and carcinogenesis. However, the molecular basis for …
