The award funds research to understand the molecular mechanisms of motile cilia, focusing on axoneme assembly and function to potentially develop therapies for ciliary dysfunction.
Description
This project seeks to reveal how the axoneme is assembled from constitutive components and how those components function together to generate ciliary motility. Understanding these processes may identify targets for developing therapies for ciliary dysfunction.
