Show abstract
Defects in primary cilia, cellular antennas that controls multiple intracellular signalling pathways, underlie several neurodevelopmental disorders, but how cilia control essential steps in human brain formation remains elusive. Here, we show that cilia are present on the apical surface of radial glial cells in human foetal forebrain. Interfering with cilia signalling in human organoids by mutating the INPP5E gene leads to the formation of ventral telencephalic cell types instead of cortical progenitors and neurons. INPP5E mutant organoids also showed increased SHH signalling and cyclopamine treatment partially rescued this ventralisation. In addition, ciliary expression of SMO was increased and the integrity of the transition zone was compromised. Overall, these findings establish the importance of primary cilia for dorsal/ventral patterning in human corticogenesis, indicate a tissue specific role of INPP5E as a negative regulator of SHH signalling and have implications for the emerging roles of cilia in the pathogenesis of neurodevelopmental disorders.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
