Abstract excerpt
The cell surface organelle called the cilium is essential for preventing kidney cyst formation and for establishing left-right asymmetry of the vertebrate body plan. Recent advances suggest that the cilium functions as a sensory organelle in vertebrate cells for multiple signaling pathways such as the hedgehog and the Wnt pathways. Prompted by kidney cyst formation in tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) patients and...
