Primary cilia mediate early life programming of adiposity through lysosomal regulation in the developing mouse hypothalamus

Ciliary defects and obesity has been associated, but the underlying mechanism is unclear. Here, the authors show that inhibition of ciliogenesis in POMC neurons during development results in lysosomal protein degradation-dependent axonal disruption and adult obesity in mice.
