Cilia’s back-and-forth beat pattern requires a central pair(CP)of microtubules.However,the mechanism by which the CP is upheld above the transition zone(TZ)remains unclear.Here,we showed that a rod-like substructure ...
Primary cilia,microtubule-based cellular protrusions found on the surface of nearly all eukaryotic cells,serve as crucial signaling hubs[1].These antenna-like organelles play a pivotal role in perceiving environmental...
