  1. Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder with defective structure and/or function of motile cilia/flagella, causing chronic upper and lower respiratory tract infections, fertilit...

    Authors: Claudius Werner, Jörg Große Onnebrink and Heymut Omran
    Citation: Cilia 2015 4:2
  2. Primary cilia are microtubule-based organelles that protrude from the cell surface. Primary cilia play a critical role in development and disease through regulation of signaling pathways including the Hedgehog...

    Citation: Cilia 2014 3:7
  3. Assembly of primary cilia relies on vesicular trafficking towards the cilium base and intraflagellar transport (IFT) between the base and distal tip of the cilium. Recent studies have identified several key re...

    Citation: Cilia 2014 3:6
  4. Cilia and the sperm flagellum share many structural properties. Meiosis-specific nuclear structural 1 (MNS1) is a recently characterized protein that is abundantly expressed in post-meiotic spermatids and is r...

    Citation: Cilia 2014 3:5
  5. Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) is an autosomal recessive ciliopathy disorder with 18 known causative genes (BBS1-18). The primary clinical features are renal abnormalities, rod-cone dystrophy, post-axial polydactyly...

    Authors: Mohamed H Al-Hamed, Charles van Lennep, Ann Marie Hynes, Paul Chrystal, Lorraine Eley, Fatimah Al-Fadhly, Riham El Sayed, Roslyn J Simms, Brian Meyer and John A Sayer
    Citation: Cilia 2014 3:3
  6. Meckelin (MKS3), a conserved protein linked to Meckel Syndrome, assists in themigration of centrioles to the cell surface for ciliogenesis. We explored foradditional functions of MKS3p using RNA interference (...

    Authors: Tyler Picariello, Megan Smith Valentine, Junji Yano and Judith Van Houten
    Citation: Cilia 2014 3:2
  7. We would like to thank the following experts for their assistance with the peer-review in 2013 for manuscripts submitted to Cilia. We greatly appreciate the voluntary contribution made to the journal by all our r...

    Authors: Phil Beales and Peter K Jackson
    Citation: Cilia 2014 3:1
  8. Lower airway abnormalities are common in patients with primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD), a pediatric syndrome that results from structural or functional defects in motile cilia. Patients can suffer from recurr...

    Authors: Casey W McKenzie, Joshua M Klonoski, Taylor Maier, Glenda Trujillo, Peter F Vitiello, Victor C Huber and Lance Lee
    Citation: Cilia 2013 2:18
  9. Most motile cilia and flagella have nine outer doublet and two central pair (CP) microtubules. Outer doublet microtubules are continuous with the triplet microtubules of the basal body, are templated by the ba...

    Authors: Karl-Ferdinand Lechtreck, Travis J Gould and George B Witman
    Citation: Cilia 2013 2:15
  10. Circulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) through the ventricular system is driven by motile cilia on ependymal cells of the brain. Disturbed ciliary motility induces the formation of hydrocephalus, a pathologi...

    Authors: Cathrin Hagenlocher, Peter Walentek, Christina Müller, Thomas Thumberger and Kerstin Feistel
    Citation: Cilia 2013 2:12
  11. Cilia are found on nearly every cell type in the mammalian body, and have been historically classified as either motile or immotile. Motile cilia are important for fluid and cellular movement; however, the rol...

    Authors: Amber K O’Connor, Erik B Malarkey, Nicolas F Berbari, Mandy J Croyle, Courtney J Haycraft, P Darwin Bell, Peter Hohenstein, Robert A Kesterson and Bradley K Yoder
    Citation: Cilia 2013 2:8
  12. The multinational SYSCILIA consortium aims to gain a mechanistic understanding of the cilium. We utilize multiple parallel high-throughput (HTP) initiatives to develop predictive models of relationships betwee...

    Authors: Teunis JP van Dam, Gabrielle Wheway, Gisela G Slaats, Martijn A Huynen and Rachel H Giles
    Citation: Cilia 2013 2:7
  13. Ethanol has been shown to stimulate the beat frequency of respiratory cilia at concentrations encountered during social drinking, while one of its metabolites, acetaldehyde, has been shown to cause a marked de...

    Citation: Cilia 2013 2:5
  14. We would like to thank all our reviewers for their contribution to the success of Cilia. Their voluntary participation has led to the launch of a new journal consistently publishing high quality articles and an i...
