Centriolar remodeling underlies basal body maturation during ciliogenesis in Caenorhabditis elegans
Abstract The primary cilium is nucleated by the mother centriole-derived basal body (BB) via as yet poorly characterized mechanisms. BBs have been reported to degenerate following ciliogenesis in the C. elegans embryo, although neither BB architecture nor early ciliogenesis steps have been described in this organism.
