By examining squid skin cells three-dimensionally, a University of California, Irvine–led team has unveiled the structures ...

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

Many protozoa, such as amebae and paramecia, move using specialized structures like cilia, flagella or pseudopodia (Figure 2). Some, like plasmodia, cause diseases such as malaria in humans. Figure 2.

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 ...

They discovered that these animals were missing genes that coded for cilia—hair-like structures found on nearly all cells in animals and humans. The researchers published their findings in ...

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 ...

Lack of Ependymal Cilia. Ciliary abnormalities include the absence of cilia, cilia immobility, and alterations in planar polarity that shift the direction of the cilia’s beat (Wu et al., 2020).The ...

Almost every eukaryotic cell type has cilia—tiny hairlike structures—on their surface. But, the function of cilia is not well understood. Now, researchers show that human pluripotent stem ...

5 Popes who formed a holy bond with their animal companions, from cats and dogs to even an elephant Maybe Pope Francis doesn't see pet parenthood worthy, but many of his predecessors would not agree.

This glossary contains the terms found in the printed volume of Antarctic Marine Protists.It is based largely on definitions provided in the following texts: for diatoms, Medlin & Priddle (1990: 67–81 ...

Structure of Plant and Animal Cell It is important to know the component of cell i.e Plasma Membrane, Cell Wall, Nucleus, Cytoplasm, Ribosomes, Golgi bodies, Mitochondria, Lysosomes, and Plastids etc.

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 ...
