Primary cilia project in a single copy from the surface of most vertebrate cell types; they
detect and transmit extracellular cues to regulate diverse cellular processes during …

Eukaryotic cilia and flagella are evolutionarily conserved organelles that protrude from the
cell surface. The unique location and properties of cilia allow them to function in vital …

The primary cilium has recently stepped into the spotlight, as a flood of data show that this
organelle has crucial roles in vertebrate development and human genetic diseases. Cilia …

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

The cilium is a complex organelle, the assembly of which requires the coordination of motor-
driven intraflagellar transport (IFT), membrane trafficking and selective import of cilium …

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

The motile and sensory functions of cilia and flagella are indispensable for human health.
Cilia assembly requires a dedicated protein shuttle, intraflagellar transport (IFT), a …

A diffusion barrier at the transition zone enables the compartmentalization of signaling
molecules by cilia. The BBSome and the small guanosine triphosphatase Arl6, which …

Primary cilium dysfunction underlies the pathogenesis of Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS), a
genetic disorder whose symptoms include obesity, retinal degeneration, and nephropathy …

Cilia play many essential roles in fluid transport and cellular locomotion, and as sensory
hubs for a variety of signal transduction pathways. Despite having a conserved basic …
