Functional aspects of primary cilia in signaling, cell cycle and tumorigenesis

Sander Basten, Rachel H. Giles · 29 Apr 2013

Dysfunctional cilia underlie a broad range of cellular and tissue phenotypes and can eventually result in the development of ciliopathies: pathologically diverse diseases that range from clinically mild to highly complex and severe multi-organ failure syndromes incompatible with neonatal life. Given that virtually all cells of the human body have the capacity to generate cilia,…

The SYSCILIA gold standard (SCGSv1) of known ciliary components and its applications within a systems biology consortium

SYSCILIA Study Group, Teunis J. P. van Dam, Gabrielle Wheway et al. · 31 May 2013

The multinational SYSCILIA consortium aims to gain a mechanistic understanding of the cilium. We utilize multiple parallel high-throughput (HTP) initiatives to develop predictive models of relationships between complex genotypes and variable phenotypes of ciliopathies. The models generated are only as good as the wet laboratory data fed into them. It is therefore essential to orchestrate…

Current topics of functional links between primary cilia and cell cycle

Ichiro Izawa, Hidemasa Goto, Kousuke Kasahara et al. · 1 Dec 2015

Primary cilia, microtubule-based sensory structures, orchestrate various critical signals during development and tissue homeostasis. In view of the rising interest into the reciprocal link between ciliogenesis and cell cycle, we discuss here several recent advances to understand the molecular link between the individual step of ciliogenesis and cell cycle control. At the onset of ciliogenesis…

Diagnosis and management of primary ciliary dyskinesia

Claudius Werner, Jörg Große Onnebrink, Heymut Omran · 21 Jan 2015

Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder with defective structure and/or function of motile cilia/flagella, causing chronic upper and lower respiratory tract infections, fertility problems, and disorders of organ laterality. Diagnosing PCD requires a combined approach utilizing characteristic phenotypes and complementary methods for detection of defects of ciliary function and ultrastructure, measurement…

Cilia, Wnt signaling, and the cytoskeleton

Helen May‐Simera, Matthew W. Kelley · 2 May 2012

Primary cilia have recently been highlighted as key regulators in development and disease. This review focuses on current work demonstrating the broad role of cilia-related proteins in developmental signaling systems. Of particular consideration is the importance of the basal body region, located at the base of the cilium, in its role as a focal point…

Cilia template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Cilia format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Cilia template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Springer Nature format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Cilia use?
Cilia uses Superscript numbered (Nature) references, shown as superscript numerals in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: 1. Smith, A., Jones, B. & Lee, C. A representative article title. Cilia 12, 45–58 (2023).
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Cilia?
No. DocuGuru generates the sn-jnl LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Springer Nature-ready Cilia document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Cilia template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Cilia format with correct headings, figures, tables, and superscript citations.
Who publishes Cilia?
Cilia is a multidisciplinary journal published by Springer Nature. DocuGuru's Cilia template matches Springer Nature's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Cilia PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Cilia template (the sn-jnl class) that is ready to submit to Springer Nature, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Cilia template cost?
You can start writing in the Cilia template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Cilia PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
