Cilia labeled in red; cell junctions in green. [Benjamin Freedman Lab] “We are trying to understand what cilia do, so we ablated them from these cells,” said Benjamin Freedman, ...

Cilia labeled in red, cell junctions in green. Credit: Benjamin Freedman lab It was first reported in 2000 that PKD could stem from defects in cilia, but the mechanism of damage that causes cysts ...

Loss of cilia leads to melanoma Date: July 2, 2018 Source: University of Zurich Summary: Most cells in the human body have a cilium, a slender cell protuberance that picks up signals from the cell ...

Primary cilia are important sensory organelles that play a role in cell signaling and development. “Sometimes people think of [primary cilium] as an antenna because they are coated in receptors and ...

However, a synapse between an axon and a cilium has not been observed until now. Interestingly, cilia are present on almost every type of cell, which makes sense during development as cilia are ...

A cilia-covered chip, the researchers say, could enable field testing that would be easier, cheaper and more efficient than lab-based tests—as well as using much smaller samples of blood, urine ...

Mechanical manipulation of cilia was critical to the study “Mechanical manipulation of immotile LRO cilia activated intraciliary calcium transients that required the cation channel Polycystin-2.
