Mechanosensing by the primary cilium: deletion of Kif3A reduces bone formation due to loading.
Primary cilia, solitary microtubule-based structures that grow from the centriole and extend into the extracellular space, have increasingly been implicated as sensors of a variety of biochemical and biophysical signals. Mutations in primary cilium-related genes have been linked to a number of rare...
