The protein causes horseshoe crabs to have blue blood, but had never been seen in this group of insects before. Cilia lab researchers showed that the level of hemocyanin present in a psyllid's ...

To better understand what changes occur in the insect during infection, researchers in Cilia's lab worked with researchers in Michael MacCoss' lab at the University of Washington in Seattle to ...

Insects have antennae. And increasingly, biologists are finding that most normal vertebrate cells have cilia, small hair-like structures that protrude like antennae into the surrounding ...

It was found that molecules related to cilia—the small, hair-like structures that mosquitoes use to detect vibrations—were significantly more expressed in males than in females.

These genes, which also exist in single-celled organisms called protists and in some plants and fungi, regulate the development of short, hairlike structures at the cellular level, called cilia ...

This included a specific group of genes known as dyneins, which are more expressed in males and have previously been linked to hearing function in various species of insects. "Cilia are thought to ...

By Mindy Weisberger, CNN (CNN) — Threadlike worms living in the guts of certain insects make their hosts jump into water and drown. What scientists knew about these parasites resembling strands ...
