Published: December 2003

In a previous paper we demonstrated that, in Paracentrotus lividus embryos, deciliation represents a specific kind of stress that induces an increase in the levels of an acidic protein of about 40 kD (p40). Here we report that deciliation also induces an increase in Hsp40 chaperone levels and enhancement of its ectodermal localization. We suggest that Hsp40 might play a chaperoning role in cilia regeneration.

Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the most common malignancies for male individuals globally. Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) initially demonstrated significant efficacy in treating PCa; however, most cases of PCa eventually progress to castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), which becomes increasingly challenging to manage. Notably, the loss or disruption of primary cilia in PCa cells may play a critical role in the progression of the disease, and there are no reports on the role of circular RNAs in ciliogenesis.

Stem Cells Within Three-Dimensional-Printed Scaffolds Facilitate Airway Mucosa and Bone Regeneration and Reconstruction of Maxillary Defects in Rabbits.

: Current craniofacial reconstruction surgical methods have limitations because they involve facial deformation. The craniofacial region includes many areas where the mucosa, exposed to air, is closely adjacent to bone, with the maxilla being a prominent example of this structure. Therefore, this study explored whether human neural-crest-derived stem cells (hNTSCs) aid bone and airway mucosal regeneration during craniofacial reconstruction using a rabbit model.

The widespread application of quantum dots (QDs) in recent years has raised concerns about potential environmental and human health risks. Although the toxicity of cadmium telluride quantum dots (CdTe QDs) has been partially studied, their effects on stem cells, tissue regeneration, neurodevelopment, and neurobehavioral toxicity remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate the combined toxic effects and mechanisms of CdTe QDs on planarians at the individual, tissue, cellular, and molecular levels.

Structural diversity of axonemes across mammalian motile cilia.

Nature

Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics, Washington University in St. Louis, School of Medicine, St. Louis, MO, USA.

Reproduction, development and homeostasis depend on motile cilia, whose rhythmic beating is powered by a microtubule-based molecular machine called the axoneme. Although an atomic model of the axoneme is available for the alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, structures of mammalian axonemes are incomplete. Furthermore, we do not fully understand how molecular structures of axonemes vary across motile-ciliated cell types in the body.

Primary Cilia Regulate the Homeostasis and Regeneration of the Stem Cell Niche in the Tooth.

Tianjin Key Laboratory of Oral Soft and Hard Tissues Restoration and Regeneration, Tianjin Medical University School of Stomatology, Tianjin Medical University, Tianjin, China.

Primary cilia, functioning as crucial hubs for signal sensing and transduction, are integral to the development and maintenance of homeostasis across various organs. However, their roles in tooth homeostasis and repair remain inadequately understood. In this study, we reveal an indispensable role for primary cilia in regulating the homeostasis and regeneration of teeth, primarily through the regulation of cell proliferation.
