SOS for SOC: the renaissance of a seemingly ubiquitous organelle

George N. Chaldakov, Krikor Dikranian

Abstract

In this volume of Biomedical Reviews Denys Wheatley presents a short review "Rediscovery" of a forgotten organelle, the primary cilium: the root cause of a plethora of disorders. Dr Wheatley has extensively published cilium-related research papers, reviews and book chapters. Quite naturally has been an advocate for attracting scientific interest to this beautiful biological structure for decades. Therefore he is well suited to provide a world-class view on this scientific problem. He does that in an elegant manner in his review, and states the future direction of research into the ubiquitous nature and involvement of this organelle in health and disease.
