原文开头
Haixia Zhou†, Lea Terbeck†, et al. INTRODUCTION: Motile cilia line the airways and by directing mucus, trapped pathogens, and particles out of the lungs, provide a first- line defense that limits pathogen colonization, restrains inflammation, and keeps airways open. Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a genetic disorder in which cilia do not beat properly, leading to mucus stasis, chronic respiratory infections, and progressive airway damage. Most known PCD genes affect the core motility apparatus within cilia (the axoneme), but 20 to 30% of individuals with a clinical diagnosis lack variants in these genes, suggesting that key structural or regulatory components outside the axoneme remain to be discovered. microtubule inner proteins (CAPSL, CFAP20, CEP41, and ENKD1) and externally by MAP9. …
