Once dismissed as the cellular equivalent of tonsils, primary cilia are now known to be invaluable antennae that help cells sense their environment. UAB's Bradley Yoder has helped connect primary ...

But scientists, starting with Alexander Kowalevsky had reported the presence of single (nonmotile) cilia in a variety of vertebrate cells (Kowalevsky 1867). These solitary and apparently ...

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 ...

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 ...

the lung cilia beat frequency analysis in vitro assay is the ideal option. Using the physiologically relevant lung small airway epithelial cell (SAEC) model in air-liquid interface (ALI ...

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 ...

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.
