Ciliopathies: a reference for clinicians
Ciliopathies: a reference for clinicians
This book provides a clinical overview and reference to this newly emergent group of disorders ranging from Alstrom syndrome to putative ciliopathic disorders.
The ciliopathies are a group of rare diseases that often affect multiple systems within the body, and are caused by defects in the function or structure of cilia. When cilia go wrong, there are profound consequences; these are discussed in detail for the first time in Ciliopathi…
Methods in cell biology
The goal of this book is to collect methods and protocols for studying cilia in a wide range of different cell types, so that researchers from many fields of biology can start exploring the role of cilia in their own system. <li>Chapters are written by experts in the field</li><…
This volume is the result of an explosion of molecular-based research on Cilia, which began with the discovery of the universality of intraflagellar transport (IFT) and ciliary genomics/proteomics.
Cilia are highly conserved organelles that serve motile and/or sensory functions. These organelles power cell movement, generate fluid flow in various organs, act as sensors of the extracellular environment and have been modified for various specialized tasks such as light recep…
