Cilia and flagella in simple eukaryotes are simultaneously ... systems but employ the same conserved basal body and axonexome structure. The study of cilia across different species, varying ...

Cilia and flagella, the protrusions that cells use ... wanted to understand what about their structure drives this waving motion so he fabricated artificial versions in the lab.

Cilia and flagella are microscopic hair-like structures ... At the core of a motile cilium is a large macromolecular filament structure called an axoneme, which consists of nine doublet ...

They have elucidated part of the relationship between the ciliary structure and ciliary motility ... and infertility caused by impaired motility of cilia and flagella. Our bodies look symmetrical ...

Cilia are anchored to the cell by the basal body, and are comprised of an axoneme, which is made up of microtubules. This microtubule-based structure is highly complex and is not seen in other ...

Dysfunctions of the tiny cell processes (primary cilia) of the pancreatic beta cells could be a cause of type 2 diabetes. Little is known about the structure and function of these cilia.

"The flagella of this alga is almost identical to the cilia in the human body," Bayly said. "It's like a biological miracle that the same structure that propels these swimming algae lines our ...

St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital scientists solved the 3D structure of a major protein complex in cilia, signaling appendages found on cells. The structure was captured at the highest resolution ...
