IIF examination of tissue from patient #1 showed typical primary cilia (Figure 2, top inset). Similarly, ultrastructural examination revealed a normal basal body with a fully formed mature primary ...

At top, primary cilia (colored green and red) protrude from renal epithelial cells grown in culture. In cell biology, as in love, you often don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone. For more than a ...

Results We report for the first time that primary cilia are disrupted in the early stages of ciliogenesis in human GBM tumors ... the distal end of the basal body and when a cilium progresses ...

For a long time, almost all attention was on the motile cilia because their function was ... cell sensory processes and a variety of human disorders. In general, the primary cilium is a sensory ...

a static environment that doesn’t let cells behave as if they are in the human body. Cilia inside the lung-chip. Microscope image courtesy of Emulate, Inc. The organ-chip consists of transparent ...

An impressive body of literature has accumulated to support ... the bronchial epithelium contained more goblet cells, shorter cilia and a thicker epithelium. In this group Chang was impressed ...

Researchers have developed an artificial cilia capable of monitoring mucus conditions in human airways to better detect infection, airway obstruction, or the severity of diseases like cystic fibrosis.

The primary cilia observed in this study came from both animal and human beta cells. The researchers examined how the skeletal structure (axoneme) formed by microtubules is organized. They discovered ...

X iaoguang Dong, assistant professor of mechanical engineering, is leading a team of researchers that has developed a system of artificial cilia capable of monitoring mucus conditions in human ...
