This study demonstrates primary cilia's ability to detect and respond to nutrient levels by altering their length through a glutamine-dependent anaplerotic pathway, specifically with asparagine synthetase (ASNS). Nutrient deprivation triggers cilia elongation, a consequence of diminished mitochondrial function, reduced ATP levels, and AMPK activation, irrespective of mTORC1. Crucially, the removal and subsequent replenishment of glutamine are essential for inducing either ciliar
