• 

  Subject Areas on Research

  • A transition zone complex regulates mammalian ciliogenesis and ciliary membrane composition. 
  • CCDC39 is required for assembly of inner dynein arms and the dynein regulatory complex and for normal ciliary motility in humans and dogs. 
  • Ciliopathies. 
  • Ciliopathy proteins regulate paracrine signaling by modulating proteasomal degradation of mediators. 
  • Cystic diseases of the kidney: ciliary dysfunction and cystogenic mechanisms. 
  • Discordant organ laterality in monozygotic twins with primary ciliary dyskinesia.
