Abstract

Since the beginning of the millennium, research in primary cilia has revolutionized our way of understanding how cells integrate and organize diverse signaling pathways during vertebrate development and in tissue homeostasis. Primary cilia are unique sensory organelles that detect changes in their extracellular environment and integrate and transmit signaling information to the cell to regulate various cellular, developmental, and physiological processes. Many different signaling pathways have now been shown to rely on primary cilia to function properly, and mutations that lead to ciliary dysfunction are at the root of a pleiotropic group of diseases and syndromic disorders called ciliopathies. In this review, we present an overview of primary cilia-mediated regulation of receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) and transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) signaling. Further, we discuss how defects in the coordination of these pathways may be linked to ciliopathies.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • A series of other RTKs, including EGFR, FGFR3, TRKB, and TIE2, also localize to primary cilia.

    “A series of other RTKs, including epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) 224, 225, fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) 226, tropomyosin receptor kinase B (TRKB, also known as neurotrophic tyrosine kinase receptor 2 227 and angiopoetin-1 receptor (TIE2) 228 also localize to primary cilia.”

    From Cellular signalling by primary cilia in development, organ function and disease (2019) · cites this paper as [224]

    The “Additional RTKs Associated with Primary Cilia” section (page not provided) reports EGFR on primary cilia and Tie2 on primary cilia in murine reproductive tissues. It discusses FGFRs as a group at the basal body of primary cilia, not FGFR3 specifically on primary cilia, and does not identify TRKB as ciliary. (LLM, conf=0.88)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
