  • Detailed analyses by immunofluorescence analysis (IF) in both man and Xenopus revealed that this reduction of cilia number was due to a centriole amplification defect in the acentriolar pathway, which is specific for multiciliated cells [1, 2]

  • IF showed that MCIDAS functions upstream of CCNO and FOXJ1, which is important for transcriptional control of axonemal motor proteins such as DNAH5 and CCDC39
