Primary cilia under fluid flow downregulate mTOR signalling to inhibit cell size.

Because anti-MAP65 antibodies decorate the cortical microtubules, it seems that these are the elusive crosslinks responsible for the parallel arrangement of microtubules in the cortical array.

Could consciousness emerge from quantum processes in tiny tubes inside brain cells? Research suggests these microscopic structures might hold the key to awareness itself.

Small antenna-like structures that protrude from nearly all eukaryotic cells, cilia are essential for movement, signaling, sensing mechanical stimuli and controlling fluid flow.
