While flagella and cilia are structurally identical, they can be distinguished by their length, density, and motility patterns. Whilst flagella feature predominantly on prokaryotic cells ...

And the single kinocilium on the hair cells of the ear is intimately associated with the stereocilia (actin-filled microvilli ... proteins that compose cilia and flagella are highly conserved ...

The Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB) announces the opening of registration for the Science Research Conference (SRC): Biology of Cilia and Flagella. The 2013 Biology ...

Flagella are primarily used for cell movement and are found in prokaryotes as well as some eukaryotes. The prokaryotic flagellum spins, creating forward movement by a corkscrew shaped filament.

Researchers from North Carolina State University and Elon University have made artificial cilia, or hair-like structures, that can bend into new shapes in response to a magnetic field, then return ...
