Cilia are important for regulating cellular processes, but because of their small size and number, it has been difficult for scientists to explore cilia in brain cells with traditional techniques ...

The cilia are antenna-like organelles that sense shifts in the extracellular environment and communicate these changes to the intracellular space. Although scientists first identified primary cilia in ...

We are investigating the function of these epigenetic modifiers on microtubule and actin dynamics during mitosis and during quiescence, when cells project primary cilia. In particular, our ...

Cilia assembly relies on cargo trains that move ... tips and make microtubule growth very slow and processive. Actin filament polymerization is crucial for building sound-sensitive stereocilia ...
