SnapShot: Sensing and Signaling by Cilia

Cell. 2015 Apr 23;161(3):692-692.e1. doi: 10.1016/j.cell.2015.04.015.

Abstract

Primary cilia are cellular appendages that coordinate diverse sensory and signaling activities. They are important for proper mammalian development, adult tissue homeostasis, and vision and odorant detection, and their dysfunction contributes to disease pathology and developmental defects.
