Primary ciliary dyskinesia and activated phosphoinositide 3-kinase delta syndrome type 1 present similarly, with recurrent respiratory infections and reduced nasal nitric oxide levels. When diagnostic confirmation of primary ciliary dyskinesia with genetic testing and/or ciliary electron microscopy is inconclusive, activated phosphoinositide 3-kinase delta syndrome type 1 and other inborn errors of immunity must be investigated.

Background: Male infertility is a complex pathophysiological disorder. At least 2000 genes are implicated in the etiology of male infertility, making it a very complex genetic condition. In cases of male infertility, genetic testing using next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology may be useful for diagnosis.

Background: Eye function is vitally dependent on an adequate blood supply, primarily provided by the ophthalmic artery, an internal carotid artery branch. This review provides an overview of the vascular supply of the eye.
Methods: A targeted search of PubMed / MEDLINE was performed using the terms "central retinal vein," "central retinal artery," "internal carotid artery," "ophthalmic artery," "ophthalmic vein," "posterior ciliary arteries," "retinal capillaries," "vascular supply of the eye," "ocular vascular supply," "external carotid artery," and "vortex vein".
Determining Ciliary Function and Membrane Impermeability of the Pseudostratified Lung Airway Epithelium.

Differentiating primary lung airway epithelial cells in the air-liquid interface (ALI) is a popular technique to develop a multi-cellular pseudostratified airway epithelium that mimics the apical side of the lung airway. While the differentiation of primary lung airway cells is expected, the assessment of biophysical properties like ciliary function and membrane impermeability provides a quality assessment of the airway epithelium and ensures the reliability of the experiment. Here, we describe a straightforward protocol for the development of multi-cellular pseudostratified airway epithelium in ALI culture and assess two important biophysical properties: ciliary function and membrane impermeability.

Introduction Non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (bronchiectasis) is an increasingly recognized but understudied disease in children. National data on this disease are scarce. This study aimed to describe the clinical, radiological, and microbiological characteristics of Portuguese children with bronchiectasis.

The choroid plexus is a major site for cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) production, characterized by a multiciliated epithelial monolayer that regulates CSF production. We demonstrate that defective choroid plexus ciliogenesis or intraflagellar transport yields neonatal hydrocephalus, at least in part due to increased water channel Aqp1 and ion transporter Atp1a2 expression. We demonstrate choroid plexus multicilia as sensory cilia, transducing both canonical and non-canonical Sonic Hedgehog (Shh) signaling.
