Although the human body is externally symmetric across the left-right axis, there are remarkable left-right asymmetries in the shape and positioning of most internal organs including the heart ...

Cilia, the little "hairs" attached to almost all cells of the human body, play a role in various cellular functions and cause diseases called ciliopathies when they are defective. Researchers from ...

Although the human body is externally symmetric across the left-right axis, there are remarkable left-right asymmetries in the shape and positioning of most internal organs including the heart ...

“Nearly 25 years of work by numerous groups have shown that cilia and flow in the organizer are absolutely essential for establishing body left-right asymmetry”, notes Yuan, who is also ...

By controlling how fluid flows around an embryo, cilia also help ensure that organs like the heart develop on the correct side of your body. But despite cilia's importance, scientists don't have a ...

Background Primary cilia are non-motile sensory cytoplasmic organelles that are involved in cell cycle progression. Ultrastructurally, the primary cilium region is complex, with normal ...

But he is unimpressed that the human cell clusters can “swim” with their cilia. That, he says, is pretty much inevitable if you have beating cilia once the spheroids are freed from the gel matrix.

Loss of cilia leads to melanoma Date: July 2, 2018 Source: University of Zurich Summary: Most cells in the human body have a cilium, a slender cell protuberance that picks up signals from the cell ...

When Brian Bayless looks at motile cilia, he sees the arms of a swimmer. The tiny hair-like appendages that extend out from cell membranes inside the human body rhythmically whip, like a freestyle ...

From the outside, human beings and most animals are basically symmetrical. Two arms, two legs, two eyes, perfectly shaped lips ... Later in life, cilia line other body surfaces, ...
