    Figure: The extracellular vesicles (EV) secreted by normal cilia (left) are larger than those secreted by normal cilia



    Approximately one in every 1,000 people in the world suffers from ciliary disease


    Problems with primary cilia can cause a series of symptoms

    The primary cilia are small and extend from the cell surface like eyelashes


    Bardet-Biedl syndrome affects one in every 25,000 people in the global population, so it is relatively rare


    Cilia control communication between cells

    For a long time, it has been thought that primary cilia are degenerated organelles and therefore redundant


    Dr.


    Successful cooperation with other biological teams

    This main function of extracellular vesicles was determined in collaboration with the team of Professor Eva-Maria Kr?mer-Albers from the JGU Institute of Developmental Biology and Neurobiology


    Professor René Ketting of the Institute of Molecular Biology (IMB) also participated in the project.
