Description
Junjun Liu, Haibo Xie, Mengfan Wu, Yidan Hu, and Yunsi Kang review the role of cilia in building organs in zebrafish in this 2023 paper. Cilia are hair-like parts that stick out from the surface of nearly all human cells. They carry signals, guide organ development, and keep tissues in balance.
When cilia form or work badly, a group of diseases called ciliopathies can result. Zebrafish serve as a model for this research since their cilia match ours closely in structure and function. The review sums up the types of cilia found in young and adult zebrafish. It sets out why the fish is a strong stand-in for human biology in this field. Then it walks through recent work on what cilia do as each organ forms. The authors close with the prospects they see for cilia research in fish.
