This study shows that β-tubulin isotype TBB-4 in C. elegans cilia uses IFT and diffusion to maintain axoneme integrity, with IFT being critical for steady-state length maintenance.

This study uses AFM to analyze the structure and micromechanics of mitotic chromosomes, revealing fractal properties and elastic recovery behavior.

This study shows that removing the ciliary gate allows axoneme extension in IFT-A-deficient cilia by enabling passive diffusion and EV release of stalled IFT machinery.

This study identifies how sensory stimuli and ciliary trafficking defects trigger the release of ciliary extracellular vesicles from different ciliary regions in C. elegans.

This study investigates the role of Condensin I in establishing and maintaining mitotic chromosome stiffness and centromeric cohesion through mechanical analysis and live cell imaging.

The paper uses single-molecule imaging in C. elegans to show how IFT subcomplexes reach the ciliary base and assemble into IFT trains.

This study investigates the role of DYF-5 in regulating intraflagellar transport (IFT) dynamics in C. elegans cilia, showing it is essential for IFT train turnaround at the ciliary tip.

This study uses ciliobrevin A to disrupt IFT dynein in C. elegans chemosensory cilia, showing cilia shortening and transport velocity reduction at low concentrations, and motor accumulations and axonemal deformations at higher concentrations.
