This new volume of Methods in Enzymology continues the legacy of this premier serial with quality chapters authored by leaders in the field. This volume covers cilia and includes chapters on such topics as electron microscopy of IFT in cilia and flagella, radial spoke isolation and assays, and biomechanical measurements of kinocilium. - Continues the legacy of this premier serial with quality chapters authored by leaders in the field - Covers cilia - Contains chapters on such topics as electron microscopy of IFT in cilia and flagella, radial spoke isolation and assays, and biomechanical measurements of kinocilium
Eukaryotic cilia are evolutionarily conserved microtubule-based structures that protrude from the cell surface. In vertebrates, multiple motile and primary (immotile) cilia fulfill sensory and motility functions that are critical for embryonic development and the homeostasis of adult tissues. Cilia malfunction has been shown to cause a growing number of diseases presenting phenotypes such as brain and skeletal developmental problems, intellectual disability, blindness, infertility, obesity, and kidney cysts. Despite their clinical relevance, we are still far from fully understanding the basic biology of these multiple cilia types. For example, we do not know the molecular compositions of all...
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Ubiquitous Computing and Ambient Intelligence, UCAmI 2012, held in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain, in December 2012. The 70 research papers were carefully reviewed and selected from various submissions. The main focus of this book has been to explore how Ambient Intelligence can contribute towards smarter but still more sustainable environments. Beyond sustainable computing the proceedings also include research work describing progress on other key research topics for AmI such as human environment mobile-mediated (through NFC or AR) interaction, artificial intelligence techniques to foster user- and context-aware environment adaptation, future internet trends such as social networks analysis, linked data or crowd-sourcing applied to AmI, internet-connected object ecosystems collaborating to give place to smarter environments.
Nearly every cell in the human body has one or more protrusive structures called cilia or flagella. These power cell movement and fluid flow, sense the extracellular environment, coordinate cell signaling, and establish left-right asymmetry during development. Mutations in genes that encode cilia can lead to disorders known as ciliopathies. Written and edited by experts in the field, this collection from Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology examines key aspects of ciliary biology-from the molecular to the organismal level-in normal physiology and disease. The contributors dissect the complex structures of motile and nonmotile (primary) cilia, discuss how the intraflagellar transport ma...
