Caption 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 ...

Your sense of taste doesn't end in your mouth: Cilia lining airways leading to the lungs express taste ... the cells that line the trachea and upper bronchi. They found several members of the T2R ...

For example, the multicilliated cells lining the trachea all had 200–300 cilia per cell. The researchers also found that cells without deuterosomes could make new centrioles just as quickly as ...

The trachea is also lined with tiny hair-like structures called cilia. These help push mucus that contains debris or pathogens out of the trachea. A person then either swallows or spits out the mucus.
