New research reveals that autism and congenital heart disease may share a common biological basis—tiny cellular structures called cilia.

Autism spectrum disorders are complex neurodevelopmental conditions affecting about 1 in 100 children worldwide. Early ...

A high-speed camera revealed that cilia 100 micrometers tall — about the thickness of a sheet of paper — move fluid at speeds of up to 10 millimeters per second when ultrasound is applied.

Pediatric patients who likely had primary ciliary dyskinesia more frequently also had asthma vs. patients without this condition, according to a research letter published in JAMA Network Open ...
