A study offers new insights into the "antennae" - or primary cilia - that human cells use for signal processing. This atlas ...

Jonathan Cilia Faro chatted about the new acoustic version of “Amapola,” where he collaborates with Jesus Molina. How did the acoustic version of “Amapola” come about? Jesus Molina and I did four ...

Border regions can cause cilia to coordinate their motion creating a unidirectional wave that is essential for biological functions. Scientists proposed a new model describing this synchronized ...

Many cells in our body have a single primary cilium, a micrometer-long, hair-like organelle protruding from the cell surface that transmits cellular signals. Cilia are important for regulating ...

Cilia and flagella are microtubule-based organelles that extend from the surface of eukaryotic cells and play pivotal roles ...

Researchers have uncovered a synapse on neurons’ tiny hair-like structures, which may facilitate long-term changes to genomic information in the nucleus. A new study from the Howard Hughes Medical ...

Left-right asymmetry is known to be established during early embryogenesis by a small cluster of cells termed the left-right organizer. Within this organizer, motile cilia beat rapidly to create a ...

Attached to nearly every human cell is an antenna-like structure known as the primary cilium, which senses the cell's ...

Cilia are ubiquitous on cells, playing a variety of roles, Dr. Nicastro explained. While non-motile cilia serve as sensors for chemical and mechanical signals, motile cilia rhythmically beat to propel ...

Almost every eukaryotic cell type has cilia—tiny hairlike structures—on their surface. But, the function of cilia is not well understood. Now, researchers show that human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs ...
