A study offers new insights into the "antennae" - or primary cilia - that human cells use for signal processing. This atlas ...

Attached to nearly every human cell is an antenna-like structure known as the primary cilium, which senses the cell's ...

Cilia are ubiquitous on cells, playing a variety of roles, Dr. Nicastro explained. While non-motile cilia serve as sensors for chemical and mechanical signals, motile cilia rhythmically beat to propel ...

Cilia and flagella are microtubule-based organelles that extend from the surface of eukaryotic cells and play pivotal roles ...

Understanding this motion may help to tackle health problems that affect cilia, which range from fertility issues to lung disease and COVID-19. Using cryo-electron tomography, researchers have ...

Carnegie Mellon scientists create AggreBots, tiny lung-cell robots powered by cilia with controlled motility.Word excerpt: ...

A team led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers has uncovered the atomic structure of a protein complex pivotal to the function of motile cilia, the hair-like structures extending from the ...

Imagine tiny, living robots swimming through your body to deliver medicine right where it’s needed. Scientists at Carnegie ...

Scientists have discovered a previously unrecognised way that human airways protect lungs from infection – through the action of cilia, tiny hair-like structures lining the respiratory tract. These ...
