DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2418938122 The researchers envision new medical devices featuring cilia on the inner and outer walls that, using ultrasound activation through the skin, will generate an ...

Researchers from ETH Zurich, the University of Bern and Bern University Hospital have developed a non-invasive cleaning technology: microscopic cilia on the stent surface are activated by ultrasound ...

After ∼3 wk of suspension culture, spheroids were covered with motile cilia and cells were processed for high-speed videomicroscopy, electron microscopy, and immunofluorescence analysis.

Now, researchers are pointing to the dysfunction of cilia, microscopic antennas of cells, essential for receiving and processing vital signals. In 2016, an international consortium led in Belgium ...

When Dara Natale, known as “Mama D” on TikTok, was pregnant with her first child, comments started flooding in on her posts: “I can tell you’re pregnant because of your nose.” ...

What Is Electron Beam Lithography? Electron beam lithography (EBL) is a technique for creating high-resolution patterns on a semiconductor substrate by directing a beam of electrons to selectively ...

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.

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 ...

The nose and airway are lined with ... Only ciliated cells became infected. Electron microscopy showed that the virus initially attaches only to cilia. Six hours after organoids were incubated ...

Cilia are small hair-like organelles that extend ... The research groups of Ben Engel in Basel and Dr. Gaia Pigino in Milan performed cryo-electron tomography, which reveals native cellular ...

But together, these structures routinely pull off biological marvels within the body. Cilia remove inhaled pathogens from the respiratory tract, carry cerebrospinal fluid across brain cavities ...

Prior research has shown that cilia on coral reef polyps create tiny vertical currents that push seawater and anything it contains away from the surface of the coral, likely as a means for ...
