For years, Yale researchers David Breslow and Mustafa Khokha have worked together with a similar challenge in their ...

Scientists have distinguished the features of nanosized hair-like cellular protrusions by combining fluorescence imaging with a microscopic technique that scans cell surfaces. Yasufumi Takahashi of ...

New research has unraveled the mystery of how microscopic cilia coordinate to move and propel marine creatures through water. Cilia are tiny, hair-like protrusions found in many organisms, including ...

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 ...

Most people have never heard of them, and yet every living being needs them to survive: fine protrusions of cells known as cilia. They allow sperm to move, form fine protective hairs in the lungs and ...

Many cells in our body have a single primary cilium, a micrometer-long, hair-like organelle protruding from the cell surface that transmits cellular signals. Cilia are important for regulating ...

Scanning electron-microscope (SEM) studies of the mucous membrane of an infraorbital turkey sinus infected with Mycoplasma gallisepticum revealed a swollen, corrugated membrane surface and swollen, ...
