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 ...

Countless tiny hairs (cilia) are found on the outer wall of some cells, for example in our lungs or in our brain. When these micrometer-sized hairs coordinate their movement and produce wave-like ...

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 ...

New Delhi: Researchers at AIIMS Delhi have developed an innovative technique for diagnosing primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD), a genetic respiratory condition often misdiagnosed. Their study, utilising ...

"Qlosi demonstrating minimal ciliary muscle movement, the same as the control tested, is consistent with the results we have seen in real world experience to date—very low rates of adverse events ...

Figure 1: an illustration of how the micrometer-scale hydrogel actuators work. a. When an external electric field is applied, water inside the soft hydrogel moves through its internal network, causing ...
