Cilia labeled in red; cell junctions in green. [Benjamin Freedman Lab] “We are trying to understand what cilia do, so we ablated them from these cells,” said Benjamin Freedman, ...

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 ...

However, a synapse between an axon and a cilium has not been observed until now. Interestingly, cilia are present on almost every type of cell, which makes sense during development as cilia are ...

A cilia-covered chip, the researchers say, could enable field testing that would be easier, cheaper and more efficient than lab-based tests—as well as using much smaller samples of blood, urine ...

Left-right asymmetry is known to be established during early embryogenesis by a small cluster of cells termed the left-right organizer. Within this organizer, motile cilia beat rapidly to create a ...
