... for renal cell fate choice and ciliogenesis in zebrafish. esrrγa deficiency altered proximodistal nephron patterning, decreased the multiciliated cell populace and disrupted ciliogenesis in the nephron, Kupffer's vesicle and otic vesicle. These phenotypes were consistent with interruptions in prostaglandin...

...Hao Lu; Priyanka Anujan; Feng Zhou; Yiliu Zhang; Yan Ling Chong; Colin D. Bingle; Sudipto Roy ABSTRACT Motile cilia on multiciliated cells (MCCs) function in fluid clearance over epithelia. Studies with Xenopus embryos and individuals with the congenital respiratory disorder reduced generation...

... and anatomical directionality indicated along with a confocal slice showing the different cell types visualized via memRFP in a mosaically labeled epidermis. MCC, multiciliated cell. (B-G′) MCCs (B,D,F) and goblet cells (C,E,G) in a St.31 embryo surrounded by unlabeled neighbors display asymmetric core PCP...

...Yan Liu; Narendra Pathak; Albrecht Kramer-Zucker; Iain A. Drummond Epithelial tubules consist of multiple cell types that are specialized for specific aspects of organ function. In the zebrafish pronephros, multiciliated cells (MCCs) are specialized for fluid propulsion, whereas transporting...
