“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 ...

Many cells in our body have a single primary cilium ... new questions about how these differences and locations affect cilia function, Ott says. "We know that diseases that involve cilia can ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

If each side of the cube contains instructions for the cell to perform one function, rotating one layer of the cube changes the instructions from every side.” In healthy cells, primary cilia are ...

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