Organoids Derived from Cilia-Free Stem Cells Model Ciliopathy Phenotypes - Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology News

Creating a novel population of cilia-free hPSCs helps scientists deduce the cause of polycystic kidney disease and other cilia-linked illnesses.

Almost every eukaryotic cell type has ciliatiny hairlike structureson their surface. But, the function of cilia is not well understood. Now, researchers show that human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs)… [+3826 chars]
