Implication

Narrative review reveals the sensory role of primary cilia in muscle stem cells, highlighting their regulation of quiescence, mechanosensation, and tissue repair.

Key Points

  • To synthesize current knowledge and recent advances regarding how the primary cilium acts as a sensory organelle to regulate muscle stem cell function and skeletal muscle regeneration.
  • Literature review evaluating molecular, mechanical, and cellular mechanisms of primary cilia function in quiescent, activated, and self-renewing adult skeletal muscle stem cells.
  • Primary cilia function as cellular signaling hubs that sense both biochemical molecules and mechanical forces to preserve the quiescent state of adult muscle stem cells.
  • Ciliary signaling dynamically orchestrates stem cell activation following skeletal muscle injury and guides cell fate decisions during asymmetric self-renewal.
