Whereas primary cilia have relatively little additional structure, motile cilia have both a central doublet of microtubules as well as inner and outer dynein arms and radial spokes, which are all ...

Proteins in the sheath of cellular protrusions control how effectively cells can adhere to surfaces. Biological cells often ...

They provide nanometer-scale views of all the cells and structures in a volume of tissue—including cilia. "Every time you look into these large-scale volume data sets, you are seeing new biology ...

Biological cells often possess thin, hair-like protrusions on their surface known as cilia, which serve various functions ...

B.S. – Biology. University of California at Irvine, Irvine, CA. Research in my lab focuses on better understanding how motile cilia structure affects its function. Motile cilia are tiny, hair-like, ...

Researchers from Germany and Italy have recently revealed new insights into the protective layer surrounding these cilia. Structure of a cilium of the green alga Clamydomonas reinhardtii (tomographic ...

The deletion of ARL13B disrupts primary and motile cilia structure in the efferent ductules, leading to impaired homeostasis, inflammation, and subfertility. This highlights ARL13B’s critical ...

Biological cells often possess thin, hair-like protrusions on their surface known as cilia, which serve various functions ranging from movement to ...

Biological cells often possess thin, hair-like protrusions on their surface known as cilia, which serve various functions ranging from movement to sensing environmental signals. Researchers from ...
