Primary cilia are microtubule-based cell organelles important for cellular communication. Since they are involved in the regulation of numerous signalling pathways, defects in cilia development or function are associa...
Filopodia, a finger-like structure and actin-rich plasma-membrane protrusion at the leading edge of the cell, has important roles in cell motility. However, the mechanisms of filopodia generation are not well-understo...

Myoclonus dystonia syndrome(MDS)is an inherited movement disorder,and most MDS-related mutations have so far been found in theε-sarcoglycan(SGCE)coding gene.By generating SGCE-knockout(KO)and human 237 C>T mutation k...
Plasma membrane (PM) blebs are dynamic actin-rich cell protrusions that occur, e.g., during cytokinesis, amoeboid cell motility and cell attachment. Using a targeted siRNA screen against 21 actin nucleation factors,...
