  • Overlooked no more, cilia are emerging as key players in insulin secretion

    Once thought of as nonfunctional vestigial relics of evolutionary history, cilia are emerging as critical components in multiple signaling pathways that control sight, smell, renal function, feeding behavior and obesity, skeletal formation, and, most recently, insulin secretion and glucose homeostasis. “Cilia biology is going to explode in diabetes,” predicts Jing Hughes, MD, PhD.
