Loss of primary cilia promotes mitochondria-dependent apoptosis in thyroid cancer

Abstract The primary cilium is well-preserved in human differentiated thyroid cancers such as papillary and follicular carcinoma. Specific thyroid cancers such as Hürthle cell carcinoma, oncocytic variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), and PTC with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis show reduced biogene...
