Ciliary Function in Mammalian Development: Volume 85

Klappentext Cilia--the tiny hairlike structures on the surface of cells--have recently been identified as playing a role in a variety of disease and developmental disorders. Absent or defective cilia in certain cells can cause infertility, blindness, kidney disease, and lung disease. This volume presents recent findings in cilia research and current thought on the role of cilia in disease and developmental abnormalities. Zusammenfassung Cilia - the tiny hair-like structures on the surface of cells - have been identified as playing a role in a variety of disease and developmental disorders. This volume presents the fresh findings in cilia research and thought on the role of cilia in disease and developmental abnormalities. Inhaltsverzeichnis 1.
