Story summary
- Researchers at KTH Royal Institute of Technology and Stanford mapped the protein composition of cilia, showing their role in sensing mechanical and chemical signals.
- They identified 715 proteins across three cell types and found 91 unlinked proteins, with Science for Life Laboratory and the Chan Zuckerberg Imaging Institute as collaborators.
- A CREB3 gene variant linked to ciliopathies could aid diagnosis.
