Loss of <scp> <i>Twist1</i> </scp> leads to disruption of ciliary length, endocytic vesicle dynamics, and cell–cell junctions during neural tube formation
Our findings establish TWIST1 as a crucial factor for neuroectodermal morphology, demonstrating its importance in ciliogenesis, endocytic vesicle dynamics, and cell-cell integrity.
