Cilia are hair-like organelles extending from the cell surface with important sensory and motility functions. Ciliary defects can result in a wide range of human diseases known as ciliopathies.

Primary cilia, which function as sensory and signalling organelles, are generated at basal bodies and require intraflagellar transport (IFT) for elongation and function. Autophagy is a process by ...

Cilia, the little "hairs" attached to almost all cells of the human body, play a role in various cellular functions and cause diseases called ciliopathies when they are defective. Researchers from the ...
