Description
Summary:Cilia From Mechanisms to Disease, Part A, Volume 175 in the Methods in Cell Biology series, offers a range of techniques and protocols that can be used to study aspects of this interesting cellular organelle both in vitro and in vivo. Sections in this new release include Protocols to induce and study ciliogenesis, Flow Cytometry-Based Approach for the study of primary Cilia, Microscopic observation of human airway ciliary movement using wheat germ agglutinin, Time-lapse imaging of primary cilia behavior with physiological expression of fluorescent ciliary proteins, Evaluation of ciliary-GPCR dynamics using a validated organotypic brain slice culture method, and much more. Other sections cover Studying the morphology, composition and function of the photoreceptor primary cilium in zebrafish, Visualizing Multiciliated Cells in the Zebrafish, Isolation of Ciliary Ectosomes and Analysis of Peptide-mediated Chemotaxis in Chlamydomonas, Using Paramecium as a Model for Ciliopathies, Using organoids to study cilia, Using in vivo cerebellar electroporation to study neuronal cell proliferation and differentiation in a Joubert syndrome mouse model, and more. Offers a detailed overview of the protocols used to study cilia structure and various aspects of ciliary function Provides an approach to the study of some diseases related to ciliary dysfunction, also known as ciliopathies Written in an accessible style by renowned experts in the field.
