However, the centriole, the structure from which the cilium grows ... Ott et al, Permanent deconstruction of intracellular primary cilia in differentiating granule cell neurons, Journal of ...

But virtually all other cells have a primary cilium. Likewise, for many years it was generally assumed that the entire phylum Nematoda, comprising roundworms, completely lacked cilia or flagella.

In her lab at Washington University in St. Louis, endocrinologist Jing Hughes studies a peculiar structure that sticks out of the surfaces of human pancreatic islet cells: the primary cilium. The ...

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 ...

Our primary objective was to examine primary cilia expression and structure in human GBM tissue samples at both the light and ultrastructural level.

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