Abstract excerpt
Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a multifactorial spinal deformity with poorly understood molecular mechanisms. This study investigates the role of the centrosomal protein POC5 in AIS pathogenesis using in vitro cellular systems and in vivo vertebrate models. POC5 mutations were found to disrupt centrosomal localization, impair ciliogenesis, alter cell-cycle progression, and reduce osteogenic...
