now reveal an unexpected new role of IFT in cells lacking cilia, by showing that IFT is part of the membrane trafficking pathway that orchestrates signalling at the immune synapse — a platform ...

They found that primary cilia closely communicate with surrounding cells and their cilia, playing a key role in signal transmission and networking between beta cells and other islet cells. They form ...

They form synapse-like structures that pinch neighboring cells. Interactions with cells of the nervous tissue Further analyses of the image data indicated that the primary cilia of the beta cells ...

They form synapse-like structures that pinch neighboring cells. Further analyses of the image data indicated that the primary cilia of the beta cells also interact with cells of the nervous tissue.
