Cilia: From Mechanisms to Disease Part A, Volume 175 (Hardcover)

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. In this volume, different study models are used, such as human cell lines, Mus musculus, Danio rerio, Paramecium caudatum or Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. Besides, protocols to study the genesis, morphology, composition and function of cilia will be addressed. In this book, the ciliary study will be realized by using different techniques such as flow cytometry, time-lapse images of fluorescent ciliary proteins, the use of organoids, the evaluation of the ciliary-GPCR dynamics or genetic modulation by using CRISPR/Cas9.
