Glucose homeostasis is regulated by pancreatic β-cell cilia via endosomal EphA-processing

Primary cilia have been proposed to regulate glucose metabolism and insulin secretion in beta cells, but it is not known how. Here the authors show that primary cilia play a role in adult β-cell function via a mechanism involving endosomal EphA-processing.
