Dysfunctions of the tiny cell processes (primary cilia*) of the pancreatic beta cells could be a cause of type 2 diabetes. Little is known about the structure and function of these cilia. An ...

Cilia depend on their highly differentiated structure, a 9 + 2 arrangement, to remove particles from the lung and to transport reproductive cells. Immortalized cells could potentially be of great ...

In a study published in Cell Research, a research team has, for the first time, resolved the high-resolution in situ structure of the central apparatus (CA) within the axoneme of mammalian sperm.

Primary cilia have moved from the background of cell biology into the forefront of research. Now known to be present on almost every cell type in the body, cilia play a central role in the regulation ...

The primary cilium, an antenna-like subcellular structure ('organelle') protruding from the outside of many types of vertebrate cells, has an important but previously overlooked role in guiding ...

Finding the 3D structure of TULP3 and IFT-A in complex is a major accomplishment that will give insight into how signaling molecules move to and from cilia, and how disruption in the interface between ...

Although cilia fulfill various tasks, they all have a similar structure: They are only five to ten micrometers (0.0005 to 0.001 centimeters) long and are located on the surface of eukaryotic cells.

Normally, cilia move in synchronized waves to push mucus away from the lungs, toward the throat where foreign objects are swallowed. But coronavirus-infected cells lose those cilia and no longer ...

Ciliary alterations could be detected after 4 days of induced-diabetes, before effects on the stem cells were seen. Learn more: restoring cilia restores sense of smell Thirdly, in type 2 mice, the ...
