REGULATION OF GENE EXPRESSION BY MODULATING PRIMARY CILIA LENGTH

摘要

The presently disclosed subject matter relates to methods of regulating gene expression in a cell by modulating the length of primary cilia of a cell, wherein such modulation can modulate the mechanosensitivity of the cell. The presently disclosed subject matter also provides for methods of treating ciliopathies and osteoporosis in a subject by increasing the length of primary cilia of a cell in a subject.
