This book highlights the diverse roles of cilia in human development and disease. Although research has concentrated on the role of cilium in each organ, no effort has been made to bring this information together and relate it to the various human diseases. This book changes that by gathering all the expertise that has been acquired on primary cilia and translating it into a medical and research context that will be of interest to postgraduate students, researchers, physicians, and scientists.

Zielgruppe

This book is intended for cell biologists, geneticists, developmental biologists, researchers, and physicians. It also would be useful to graduate and post graduate students in cell biology, developmental biology, genetics, medical research, and medicine.
