Special design of the skeletal structure The primary cilia observed in this study originated from both animal and human beta cells. The researchers investigated how the skeletal structure (axoneme ...

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.

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 ...

but this requires that all cilia in a tissue orient the same way. Earlier studies indicated that both planar cell polarity (PCP) signalling and cilia-generated fluid flows could influence ciliary ...

Most cells in mammalian bodies have cilia of some sort, which are hair-like structures that perform a variety of functions such as movement for motile cilia and aiding in structure in function for non ...
