Excessive F-Actin and Microtubule Formation Mediates Primary Cilia Shortening and Loss in Response to Increased Extracellular Osmotic Pressure

This study shows that hyperosmotic shock causes reversible primary cilia shortening and loss in mouse cells, mediated by excessive microtubule and F-actin formation.

Circadian oscillation in primary cilium length by clock genes regulate fibroblast cell migration

This study shows that circadian rhythms regulate primary cilia length in fibroblasts, which in turn affects cell migration and wound healing.

A pair of primers facing at the double-strand break site enables to detect NHEJ-mediated indel mutations at a 1-bp resolution

The paper introduces DST-PCR with TBE-High-Resolution PAGE to detect NHEJ-mediated indel mutations at 1-bp resolution in CRISPR/Cas9-engineered cell lines.
