The primary cilium is a self-adaptable, integrating nexus for mechanical stimuli and cellular signaling

Mechanosensation is crucial for cells to sense and respond to mechanical signals within their local environment. While adaptation allows a sensor to be conditioned by stimuli within the environment and enables its operation in a wide range of stimuli intensities, the mechanisms behind adaptation rem...
