Building on this work, the team is now actively pursuing the extent to which genes involved in cilia overlap with genes associated with autism and congenital heart disease, "what we discovered is ...

Dynein-2 is one of the motors that move the intraflagellar transport (IFT) trains ― large protein complexes that are needed for the assembly and function of eukaryotic cilia and flagella.

But there is still a lot we don't know about cilia in many cell types, such as neurons or cancer cells. Scientists have learned, however, that cilia may be critical to the growth of some cancers, and ...

A team of scientists, led by Dr. Helen Willsey from University of California, San Francisco, U.S., discovered that tiny hair-like structures called cilia, found on the surface of almost every cell ...

Even minor irritants will then trigger the coughing reflex. The body’s response to infection makes the mucus more sticky – and more difficult for the overworked, recovering cilia to clear.

The unusual radio pulses were detected by the Antarctic Impulsive Transient Antenna (ANITA) experiment, a range of instruments flown on balloons high above Antarctica that are designed to detect ...

Recently, a large case-controlled genome-wide association study (GWAS) of ALS revealed cilia and flagella-associated protein 410 (CFAP410), previously called as C21orf2. 2 CFAP410 is causative for ...

The bacterial flagellin fusion protein, FliTrx, was modified by inserting a peptide containing 24 histidine residues and shown to successfully export and self-assemble to form flagella nanotubes. The ...
