Emerging evidence indicates that cell-type-specific and temporally dynamic ciliary signatures determine signalling competence and disease susceptibility, and defining these signatures and the mechanisms that regulate their plasticity could lead to new therapeutic opportunities for ciliopathies and other cilia-associated diseases.
Primary cilia are microtubule-based organelles protruding from the cell surface, which are conventionally understood as passive cellular antennae that detect extracellular stimuli. However, emerging evidence redefines these microtubule-based organelles as dynamic, bidirectional hubs that integrate environmental sensing...

Cell differentiation, the process by which stem cells acquire specialized functions, underpins embryonic development, tissue homeostasis, and regeneration. This process is governed by evolutionarily conserved signaling pathways, including Wnt, Notch, Hedgehog, TGF-β, and Hippo, which integrate extracellular cues with i...
