The HEATR2 protein (red) is located in the body of airway cells lining the trachea, not in the cilia (green) or the nuclei (blue). Finding HEATR2 outside of the cilia was the first clue for Amjad ...

Mucosal membranes are made up of epithelial cells, mucus-secreting goblet cells, and hair-like projections called cilia that line the inside of the trachea and help move foreign particles up and ...
