Polycystic kidney disease: The cilia mechanosensation debate gets (bio)physical

For the first time, two new studies applied a mechanical stimulus directly to a cilium, independent of a chemical signal, and demonstrated that force-based bending of a single nodal axoneme is sufficient to induce intraciliary Ca(2+) flux in a PKD2-dependent manner, which propagated to drive asymmet...

Sumario:For the first time, two new studies applied a mechanical stimulus directly to a cilium, independent of a chemical signal, and demonstrated that force-based bending of a single nodal axoneme is sufficient to induce intraciliary Ca(2+) flux in a PKD2-dependent manner, which propagated to drive asymmetric gene expression.
