In a study published in Cell Research, a research team has, for the first time, resolved the high-resolution in situ ...

Looking closely at the motile cells and microorganisms, one can find both order and anisotropy within their microstructure, driving out-of-equilibrium asymmetric deformations of their soft bodies and ...

St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital scientists solved the 3D structure of a major protein complex in cilia, signaling appendages found on cells. The structure was captured at the highest resolution ...

rosetta as reconstituted by cryo-electron tomography (now one of the handful of eukaryotic species whose flagella have been studied ... of outer dynein arm and radial spoke structure to metazoan cilia ...

The structure of ependymal cilia remains intact in the absence ... 2007; Al Omran et al., 2017). Cilia-and flagella-associated protein 221 (CFAP221), also known as primary ciliary dyskinesia protein 1 ...

At the centre of most cilia and flagella is a structure called an axoneme, which consists of two central microtubules inside a circle formed of nine pairs of microtubules. Motor proteins, such as ...

In situ structure of triplet microtubules from the proximal region ... This study exemplifies the need for comparative studies of cilia and flagella, both from different species and from different ...

Moreover, primary cilia inhibit the process of atherosclerosis. In the current review, we discussed ciliogenesis, ciliary structure, as well as ciliary ... and signal transduction elements into the ...

Cilia and flagella, which are antenna-like structures ... the team used cryo-electron microscopy to visualize the molecular structure of the flagellum and of its molecular motors.
