TL;DR

A role for Spag6 is demonstrated in the pathogenesis of OM in mice, possibly through its role in the regulation of cilia/basal body polarity through the PCP-dependent mechanisms in the middle ear and Eustachian tubes.

Stereotypical interciliary contacts in a C. elegans sense organ

Investigating how primary cilia, structures that detect and transmit signals, form contacts with one another in a head sensory organ of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans found that these contacts follow consistent patterns and can form even when neighboring cilia are absent, suggesting they are actively established r...

Tmem216 deficiency induces hydrocephalus via impaired ciliogenesis and disrupted ependymal planar polarity in mice.

It is demonstrated that central nervous system-specific inactivation of Tmem216 results in severe postnatal hydrocephalus and is identified as a critical TZ protein essential for ciliogenesis during ependymal development and establishing ependymal planar cell polarity.

Centrosome maintains the integrity of and repairs mature olfactory cilia in adult Drosophila

These findings uncover an active, centrosome-dependent, cell-autonomous mechanism for maintaining and repairing mature metazoan cilia in fully grown organs in adulthood and also provide a possible explanation for how deregulation of conserved ciliary base components could lead to progressive, late-onset cilia-related d...

Ependymal Cells and Hydrocephalus: Recent Advances in Molecular Mechanisms.

The structural and functional organization of the ependymal cilia is described and how ciliary defects range from severe developmental disruptions causing neonatal hydrocephalus to subtle maintenance defects underlying late-onset forms of the disease are discussed.
