primary cilia can simultaneously support major IFT functions of the cell (Figure 3). The primary cilium has gone from being an oddity, with no known function, to an organelle that is at the center ...

Many cells in our body have a single primary cilium, a micrometer-long, hair-like organelle protruding from the cell surface that transmits cellular signals. Cilia are important for regulating ...

The team’s close examination of the organelles revealed they are a hybrid of sorts between primary and motile cilia with molecular and structural aspects of both, upending the longstanding binary ...

The organelle is membrane-bound and contains multiple microtubules running along its length. Whereas primary cilia have relatively little additional structure, motile cilia have both a central ...
