However, many questions about primary cilia still remain unanswered. What is their evolutionary origin? Are they the primitive form of cilia, or did they arise from motile cilia? What are the ...

1. How cilia talk» Primary (non-motile) cilia use membrane proteins in their role as a coordinator of the cell’s signaling pathways. New findings show how a cilium retains those membrane proteins—a ...

There is a high degree of ciliary specialization, ranging from motile cilia of the respiratory epithelium to primary ...

Further, we documented that in each of the five astrocytoma/glioblastoma cell lines studied (U-87 MG, T98G, U-251 MG, U-373 MG, U-138 MG), fully formed primary cilia ...
