Structure of the human basal body (BB) at initial step of ciliogenesis. a Side view of the BB. DAP/TF, distal appendages/transition fibers, SAP/BF, sub-distal appendages/basal feet, CV, ciliary vesicle. b Cross section of the BB with SAS protein-containing central hub, attached to Cep135 and MT triplets. c. Primary ciliogenesis progresses through five morphologically distinct stages in human astrocytes. Stage 1: lateral vesicles are at the distal end of the BB. Stage 2: the lateral vesicles fuse and become a vesicular cap. Stage 3–4: stretch of vesicular cap and outgrowth of primary cilium. Stage 5: mature primary cilium surrounded with cilium pit [64].
