Motile cilia are highly complex hair-like organelles of epithelial cells lining the surface of
various organ systems. Genetic mutations (usually with autosomal recessive inheritance) …

Intracellular transport is fundamental for cellular function, survival and morphogenesis.
Kinesin superfamily proteins (also known as KIFs) are important molecular motors that …

During development, mechanical forces cause changes in size, shape, number, position,
and gene expression of cells. They are therefore integral to any morphogenetic processes …

Comparative studies on brain asymmetry date back to the 19th century but then largely
disappeared due to the assumption that lateralization is uniquely human. Since the …

The kinesin, dynein, and myosin superfamily molecular motors have fundamental roles in
neuronal function, plasticity, morphogenesis, and survival by transporting cargos such as …

Cilia are ubiquitous microtubule-based eukaryotic organelles that project from the cell to
generate motility or function in cellular signaling. Motile cilia or flagella contain axonemal …

Cilia are membrane-bounded, centriole-derived projections from the cell surface that contain
a microtubule cytoskeleton, the ciliary axoneme, surrounded by a ciliary membrane …

Cilia are microscopic projections that extend from eukaryotic cells. There are two general
types of cilia; primary cilia serve as sensory organelles, whereas motile cilia exert …

Cilia are complex structures that have garnered interest because of their roles in vertebrate
development and their involvement in human genetic disorders. In contrast to multicellular …

The house mouse (Mus musculus) is an exceptional model system, combining genetic
tractability with close evolutionary affinity to humans,. Mouse gestation lasts only 3 weeks …
