A confocal microscopy image of Rab23-KO primary cortical neurons at 18 days in-vitro, co-immunostained for the neuronal marker MAP2 (magenta) and the primary cilia marker AC3 (green). Rab23-KO neurons exhibit persistently reduced ciliation and shorter cilia. These findings demonstrate that Rab23 is critical for proper neuronal primary cilia formation and elongation, highlighting its essential role in cilia dynamics during neuronal development.
