The primary cilium as a gatekeeper of FGFR2 function

In this issue, Nita et al. (https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.202311030) show that the primary cilium regulates FGFR2 signalling through spatial compartmentalization, enabling selective downstream activation. Disruption of ciliary localization in disease-linked FGFR2 variants highlights the role of the cilium as a signalling gatekeeper in development and disease.

Scientists find immune molecule that supercharges plant growth

Within the animal kingdom, a naturally produced molecule known as itaconate serves a prominent role in the immune system as a defensive agent against viruses and inflammation. Itaconate is classified as a metabolite, a natural compound that arises when organisms convert food into energy. While itaconate is well known in animals, its presence and functions […]
