3 Dec 2008
Abstract excerpt
The primary cilium is an antenna-like structure extending from the surface of most vertebrate cells. Loss or mutation of ciliary proteins can lead to polycystic kidney disease and other developmental abnormalities. inv mutant mice develop multiple renal cysts and are a model for human nephronophthisis type 2.
