Fibroblasts changes their migration speed to the wound site depending on the circadian rhythms of primary cilium length.

Caption

Fibroblasts need to accumulate at the wound site when repairing wounds such as skin wounds. We found that fibroblasts with long primary cilia migrate slower to the wound site than fibroblasts with short primary cilia.
