Coronavirus particles (small, spiky spheres) coat a human lung cell and its hairlike cilia in this scanning electron micrograph (left; higher-resolution view at right). C. Ehre/ NEJM 2020 ...

COPD-like in vivo conditions can be imitated by treating the lung SAEC model with IL-13 and analyzing the cilia beat frequency to predict drug efficacy clinical translation.

The first image of the structures that power human cilia – the tiny, hairlike projections that line our airways – has been produced by a team involving UCL researchers and could lead to much ...

New Image of Coronavirus Released as Seen up Close Inside Human Lungs | SEE PIC The images show infected ciliated cells with strands of mucus (yellow) attached to cilia tips (blue).

Anewly developed imaging toolbox may improve the detection of primary ciliary dyskinesia, a genetic lung disorder characterized by impaired motility of the cilia, the slender organelles protruding ...

Schematic of the lung epithelium: The figure shows how cells with cilia (green) work together with mucus-forming cells (yellow, purple) to effectively remove pathogens from the lung.
