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 ...

Left-right asymmetry is known to be established during early embryogenesis by a small cluster of cells termed the left-right organizer. Within this organizer, motile cilia beat rapidly to create a ...
