Organoids Derived from Cilia-Free Stem Cells Model Ciliopathy Phenotypes
GEN,
Almost every eukaryotic cell type has cilia—tiny hairlike structures—on their surface.

Thinking Port,
In a novel experiment, scientists “knocked out,” or deleted, the cilia in a population of otherwise normal human pluripotent…
News Cilia-Free Stem Cells Offer New Path To Study Rare Diseases Researchers have designed cilia-free stem cells that can be used to recreate symptoms of ciliopathies like polycystic kidney disease, enabling greater understanding of the conditions.
Technology Networks,
A group of rare diseases called ciliopathies — polycystic kidney disease notable among them — emerge from defects in cilia.
