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 ...

Microscopic command centers in our bodies called primary cilia—once thought irrelevant—could be hidden switches powering ...

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, ...

Implanted tubes that transport bodily fluids can get gross. A lab prototype suggests a new vibration-based way to keep them clean and prevent infection.

Dr. Kaplan and his colleague's findings provide strong support for the idea that ARL13B helps organize cilia through changes in the cilia’s surface, not just its inner structure. Dr.

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 ...

A new electronic skin sensor uses magnetic cilia to detect both pressure and magnetic fields for applications in health and ...
