Cilia: Development and Disease, 1e
The scope of the book is to highlight the diverse roles of cilia in
human development and disease. Almost all cell types form cilia and
although they were first detected about 200 years ago, their
significance was unclear. In the past ten years, it has become obvious
that cilia have got sensory functions, as well as roles in motility and
their mis-formation or the deregulation of the signaling pathways they
control has been associated with defective development and human
disease. Although research has concentrated on the role of the cilium in
each organ, no effort has been made so far to bring all this
information together and relate it to the various human diseases. This
book aims to gather all the expertise that has been acquired on primary
cilia and translate it into a medical and research context that will be
of interest to postgraduate students, researchers, medics and
scientists.
