Motile cilia are tiny appendages that can be found on the surface of some cell types, such as lung epithelial cells. The regular beating of motile cilia can affect a variety of processes, including ...
Cilia are ubiquitous on cells, playing a variety of roles, Dr. Nicastro explained. While non-motile cilia serve as sensors for chemical and mechanical signals, motile cilia rhythmically beat to propel ...
The taste-sensing abilities of motile cilia could also lead to bitter compound-mimicking drugs that could target motile cilia to increase their beating to clear disrupted airways, as is common in ...
The first image of the structures that power human cilia -- the tiny, hairlike projections that line our airways -- has now been produced and it could lead to much-needed treatments for people with ...
Researchers have developed a new optical coherence tomography (OCT) approach that can directly image coordination of tiny hair-like structures known as motile cilia in their natural environment. The ...
Cilia are ubiquitous on cells, playing a variety of roles, Dr. Nicastro explained. While non-motile cilia serve as sensors for chemical and mechanical signals, motile cilia rhythmically beat to propel ...
Border regions can cause cilia to coordinate their motion creating a unidirectional wave that is essential for biological functions. Scientists proposed a new model describing this synchronized ...
Understanding this motion may help to tackle health problems that affect cilia, which range from fertility issues to lung disease and COVID-19. Using cryo-electron tomography, researchers have ...
Scientists at EPFL have developed CenSpark, a fluorescent probe that makes centrioles and cilia visible inside living cells, helping researchers study cell division, development, and immunity like ...
