Ciliary function in mammalian development /

Cilia - the tiny hair-like structures on the surface of cells - have been identified as playing a role in a variety of disease and developmental disorders. This volume presents the fresh findings in cilia research and thought on the role of cilia in disease and developmental abnormalities.
