Cilia: From Mechanisms to Disease, Part A, Volume 175 in the Methods in Cell Biology series, offers a range of techniques and protocols that can be used to study aspects of this interesting cellular organelle both in vitro and in vivo. Sections in this new release include Protocols to induce and study ciliogenesis, Flow Cytometry-Based Approach for the study of primary Cilia, Microscopic observation of human airway ciliary movement using wheat germ agglutinin, Time-lapse imaging of primary cilia behavior with physiological expression of fluorescent ciliary proteins, Evaluation of ciliary-GPCR dynamics using a validated organotypic brain slice culture method, and much more.

Other sections cover Studying the morphology, composition and function of the photoreceptor primary cilium in zebrafish, Visualizing Multiciliated Cells in the Zebrafish, Isolation of Ciliary Ectosomes and Analysis of Peptide-mediated Chemotaxis in Chlamydomonas, Using Paramecium as a Model for Ciliopathies, Using organoids to study cilia, Using in vivo cerebellar electroporation to study neuronal cell proliferation and differentiation in a Joubert syndrome mouse model, and more.

Bravo-San Pedro, Jose Manuel
Jose Manuel Bravo-San Pedro is currently a researcher at the Department of Physiology of the Complutense University of Madrid thanks to a Ramon y Cajal contract grant. He got his Ph.D. in biochemistry, cellular biology and genetics from the University of Extremadura (Caceres, Spain) in 2011, and he did a post-doctoral stage in the laboratory of Prof. Guido Kroemer. His main research interests have always been linked to autophagy, addressing this cellular process associated with neurodegenerative diseases or cancer and recently obesity and specifically related to problems in the correct functioning of the cilium. He is co-inventor of two patents and co-author of 110 publications indexed in PubMed in prestigious international journals, with h-index 45 and 23768 cites (Dec 2022).
