Ciliopathy research

Ciliopathy research explores disorders caused by problems with cilia, tiny hair-like structures on cells that help with movement, sensing the environment, and signaling. Since cilia are involved in many body systems, ciliopathies can lead to diverse conditions like kidney disease, vision problems, and developmental issues. Researchers aim to understand how cilia function and what goes wrong in these disorders, which can lead to better diagnostics and treatments. Advances in this field are helping improve care for individuals affected by ciliopathies and deepen our knowledge of cellular biology.
