Apical Abscission Alters Cell Polarity and Dismantles the Primary Cilium During Neurogenesis

Open access

Abstract

Developing Neurons Make the Cut: Neurons in the developing central nervous system of vertebrates derive from cells adjacent to the ventricles that then proliferate and differentiate to populate the brain. As one of these cells begins to differentiate, the cell nucleus migrates toward its new residence, away from the ventricle surface, and the cell stretches out. At some point, like any maturing adolescent, the cell has to leave home. Das and Storey (p. 200 ; see the Perspective by Tozer and Morin ) show that instead of letting go and drawing the trailing process up into the migrating cell, the cell cuts off and discards its first roots. The abscission process leaves behind the primary cilium and any signaling systems localized to the cilium.

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

  • Quiescent cells can lose their cilium due to developmental programming or environmental insults such as mechanical stress.

    “Quiescent cells can lose their cilium as a consequence of developmental programming 15–19 or in response to environmental insults such as mechanical stress 20.”

    From Cellular signalling by primary cilia in development, organ function and disease (2019) · cites this paper as [15]

    The Abstract and a main-text passage indexed under Abstract (page unavailable) show that apical abscission dismantles the primary cilium during neuronal differentiation. They place cilium disassembly before cell-cycle exit, however, so the paper does not establish cilium loss in already quiescent cells. The mechanical-stress clause has a separate citation and is not attributed to this source. (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.
