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.

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 ...

They are typically diagnosed through genetic screening and examination of a patient's cilia under a conventional electron microscope. The problem is, conventional electron microscopy is not ...

The challenge was to separate the cilia from the cells without destroying their many fine structural details, and then look at them under a particularly powerful electron microscope. Petra Kiesel, the ...

Most patients with PCD have subtle structural abnormalities within their cilia observable only by electron microscopy. When genetic mutations cause cilia to function improperly, the failure to ...

Cryo-electron microscopy has revolutionized structural ... hairlike structures called cilia that line the trachea’s surface. Traditionally, structural biology has been a bit reductionist.

Cilia are hair-like structures on the surface ... to diagnose complications like hearing loss or other problems. Electron microscopy is considered the best way to diagnose the condition itself.
