To the point. Protective layer around cilia: The layer known as glycocalyx consists of sugar-rich proteins (glycoproteins) and influences the mobility and signal transduction of cells. Main components ...

With the booming development of electronic skin, bio-inspired cilia tactile sensors have garnered significant research interest due to their superior ability to detect tangential force. However, ...

During a recent interview with Chrissy Teigen, Vice President Kamala Harris said, “I’m going to confess, I love Venn diagrams. If you’re ever in a moment of conflict, pull out a Venn diagram ...

Dynein-2 is the molecular motor responsible for intraflagellar transport (IFT) from the tip of cilia to the base. Here, a combination of cryo-electron microscopy, crystallography, genome editing, and ...

The primary cilium is an antenna-like structure of the plasma membrane. Primary cilia contain receptors and channels that detect extracellular signals and transduce them into the cells to regulate ...

Primary cilia are sensory organelles present on the cell surface; however, their physical structure has not been defined due to technical reasons. A new PNAS study examined primary cilia in human ...

Vector hydrophone is the core equipment of underwater acoustic detection. Aiming at the problem of low sensitivity and short detection distance of existing vector hydrophone. In this article, a hollow ...

Scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital solved the 3D structure of a protein in cilia, an organelle important to many diseases at nearly ten times the resolution of previous efforts.
