Protocols to induce and study ciliogenesis.

Primary cilia (PC) are sensory organelles that function as cellular antennas, transmitting signals between the extracellular and intracellular spaces in many vertebrate tissues. The cell generates and assembles PC through a highly regulated process called ciliogenesis. This complex process is involved in several physiological functions, including embryonic development, locomotion, cell cycle regulation or energetic homeostasis control.
