Today’s featured artist is Sophie Tarry with her submission titled “The Changing Seasons”.
“Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is an umbrella term for disorders affecting the structure and/or function of cilia. These defects are due to changes (variants) on genes responsible for producing proteins required for building ciliary structures or for supporting functional processes that help cilia work appropriately. Because both upper (sinuses and ears) and lower airways (lungs) rely extensively on ciliary activity for effective mucociliary clearance, PCD is often thought of as a respiratory disease. However, due to the genetic nature of the disorder, ANY system that relies on adequate functioning of cilia or cilia-related proteins can be impacted. While there is not a large body of reliable information on reproductive health in PCD, recent studies have helped illuminate our understanding of reproductive health in PCD, as well as offering new insights into some long-standing, but possibly erroneous beliefs.” ~ The American PCD Foundation
The PCD Artist Project is a collaborative effort by artist to raise awareness for PCD or primary ciliary dyskinesia and support the PCD Smiles program. Each artist who submitted art work to the project either has PCD or has a PCD friend or family member.
