Cilia play obvious roles in several tissues ... hair cells of the ear is intimately associated with the stereocilia (actin-filled microvilli), whose movements with respect to each other lead ...

Cilia and flagella are evolutionarily conserved, microtubule-based, hair-like organelles that protrude from the cell surface. They are the fundamental units of motion in cellular biology ...

HKUST structural biologist Mingjie Zhang and his team have found that the microvilli and the stereocilia tip-link complexes, despite only having Harmonin in common, are formed via strikingly ...

Bullish (Video) Human Respiratory System: Anatomy, Cilia, and Mucus Membrane Function Posted: March 6, 2025 | Last updated: March 6, 2025 The film discusses the anatomical and functional ...

When the robot was flipped over, so the cilia were on the bottom, their movement allowed the device to scuttle across a flat surface. It could even crawl up a 45-degree slope, and carry an object ...

Researchers develop robotic sensory cilia that monitor internal biomarkers to detect and assess airway diseases Date: November 7, 2024 Source: Vanderbilt University Summary: Mechanical engineers ...

Tiny extensions on cells, cilia, play an important role in insulin release, according to a new study, which is published in Nature Communications. The researchers report that the cilia of beta ...

Biophysicist Kirsty Wan compares the gaits of creatures large and small. Moving diagonally opposite limbs, or flagella in this case, in unison — that’s a trot, Wan says. Her lab, at the ...
