signals, and directing the flow of fluids such as mucus over and around cells. Due to the importance of these cell processes, defects in ciliogenesis can lead to numerous human diseases related to non-functioning cilia known as ciliopathies.

Assembly

Primary cilia are found to be formed when a cell exits the cell cycle. Cilia consist of four main compartments: the basal body at the base, the transition zone, the axenome which
