Abstract
The absence or dysfunction of primary cilia, which are non-motile protrusions on cells, leads to a group of neurodevelopment disorders called ciliopathies. In a new study, Esther Stoeckli and colleagues identify the role of primary cilium-mediated sonic hedgehog (Shh) signaling in commissural axon guidance in mice and chick embryos. We caught up with first author, Alexandre Dumoulin, and corresponding author, Esther Stoeckli, Professor at the University of Zurich, to find out more about the work.
