Research by the University of Cambridge and University of Strathclyde reveals that cilia in the respiratory tract generate ...

Mouth taping has become an internet star even though science has yet to prove its benefit — and has shown it can do harm.

Scientists have discovered a previously unrecognized way that human airways protect lungs from infection—through the action of cilia, tiny hair-like structures lining the respiratory tract.

An international team of researchers, led by the University of Exeter, have been awarded a Wellcome Discovery Award grant of ...

By reexamining 3D images used to map the connections between brain cells, researchers are uncovering new information about a small, elusive, and often overlooked cellular appendage.

In a groundbreaking study, American researchers Peter A. Noble and Alex Pozhitkov have made a remarkable discovery about the behavior of cells after an organism’s death. Their experiments with frog ...

Meike Bos studied how the lungs discharge mucus. “Biology can be complex sometimes, but you can use physics to better understand complicated processes.” ...

The cilia kept this mucus moving up & out of the lungs all the time. Significant for human beings who live in dusty cities, especially for those who work in dusty factories, mills or mines, were ...

Border regions can cause cilia to coordinate their motion creating a unidirectional wave that is essential for biological functions. Scientists proposed a new model describing this synchronized ...

The microscopic, hair-like structures called cilia act like the engines of cellular biology. They use a coordinated wave motion to propel bacteria, clean out your lungs and even move eggs from the ...
