Cilia are important for regulating cellular processes, but because of their small size and number, it has been difficult for scientists to explore cilia in brain cells with traditional techniques ...

Using a tool called Automated Meiotic Mapping (AMM) that was developed at UT Southwestern Medical Center, a team of ...

Premature infants are at risk of bronchopulmonary dysplasia, or BPD, a type of lung injury associated with increased ...

In the former he found that the bronchial epithelium contained more goblet cells, shorter cilia and a thicker epithelium. In this group Chang was impressed by the more conspicuous basal-cell ...

Many different types of cells in the body have a tiny projection known as a primary cilium. These cilia act like little signaling hubs, that can... | Cell And Molecular Biology ...

New research has identified the mechanism by which air pollution damages the lungs’ self-cleaning system, leaving us ...

Air pollution is the second leading risk factor for death globally, with most of the world population subject to harmful air ...

Then it has to escape the mucus in our windpipes that capture particles, which are then swept out by tiny hairs called cilia. If the bacterium runs the gauntlet and reaches the lungs, then it faces ...

A new study suggests that activating an enzyme known as ALDH1A1 could help protect the lungs from air pollution, particularly in vulnerable groups like pregnant women, children, and those with asthma ...
