Nasal cavities. Each nostril leads to a nasal cavity. In this part of your nose, breathed-in air is filtered by cilia — hair-like structures inside the nostrils — before entering your lungs.

TINY finger-like projections lining the nose continue to beat after death. Since the beating of these cilia slows at a predictable rate, forensic teams should be able to estimate time of death ...

A new PNAS study examined primary cilia in human islet cells using a multi-scale surface scanning electron microscope approach to obtain a three-dimensional (3D) image of their architecture.

The first line of defense we have against invaders like viruses or allergens are hair-like structures called cilia that line the nasal passage, trap particles and then move them out of the nose.

Primary ciliary dyskinesia is a genetic condition where the cilia aren’t working properly ... like hearing loss or other problems. Electron microscopy is considered the best way to diagnose ...

Over months, she and her collaborators optimized a protocol for peeling away the entire cell membrane to see the cytoskeletal components of the cilia. Then they applied this method to donated human ...

Read on for all the details. You might assume that nose hair is the same as the rest of the hair you grow, but it's slightly different. Cilia (the technical term for nose hair) is part of the ...

and Harvard Medical School used super high-resolution 3D electron microscopy images of mouse brain tissue generated for creating connectomes to get the best look yet at primary cilia. Their ...
