Note that while they may serve as sensory receptor cell specializations, primary cilia can simultaneously support major IFT functions of the cell (Figure 3). The primary cilium has gone from being ...

“It’s interesting to think about how cilia function could be important for the general population, [not] just in rare instances of ciliopathies,” he adds. Ciliopathies—rare diseases caused by ...

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

Now, in a recently published Journal of Cell Biology paper, scientists used a newer electron microscopy technique, called volume electron microscopy (vEM), to examine how primary cilia on developing ...

Primary cilia were marked by mouse anti-acetylated tubulin at 1:100 dilution (Sigma, St. Louis, MO). After washing with PBS, cells were incubated for 2 hours in a dark chamber with Alexa Fluor (AF ...

AIIMS-Delhi researchers have developed a transmission electron microscopy-based technique to diagnose Primary Ciliary ...

have developed a groundbreaking method for diagnosing Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia (PCD) -- a rare and often misdiagnosed genetic disorder affecting the respiratory system -- using transmission ...
