But unlike the hair on our heads, the length of sensory cilia on nerve cells in our noses is of far more than merely cosmetic significance. Researchers found a location-dependent pattern in cilia ...

They discovered previously unknown compartments within the cilia and the location of some of the proteins involved in retinal disease. Their findings contribute to a better understanding of the ...

Using a tool called Automated Meiotic Mapping (AMM) that was developed at UT Southwestern Medical Center, a team of ...

Cilia — tiny hair-like organelles attached to the cell surface — are located on almost all polarized cell types of the human body and have been adapted as versatile tools for various cellular ...

Together, these findings provide new insights and raise new questions about how these differences and locations affect cilia function, Ott says. “We know that diseases that involve cilia can ...

As rotating cilia are located on multiple focal planes of the node cavity, the number of rotating cilia in the node was determined by examining various focal planes. To quatify the levels of Cerl2 ...

For instance, cilia located on specialised neurons are important for the regulation of appetite, and severe obesity is one of the features of ciliopathies such as Bardet-Biedl syndrome and Alstrom ...

The team focused on primary cilia located in a brain structure called the dentate gyrus (DG), which is part of the hippocampus. The dentate gyrus is the first region where all sensory modalities ...

That research, conducted by geneticist Hiroshi Hamada, MD, PhD, and colleagues at Japan’s Osaka University, showed how tail-like projections known as cilia located on the surface of cells in an ...

Cilia, tiny hair-like structures that perform feats such as clearing microscopic debris from the lungs and determining the correct location of organs during development, move in mysterious ways. Their ...

That research, conducted by geneticist Hiroshi Hamada, MD, PhD, and colleagues at Japan's Osaka University, showed how tail-like projections known as cilia located on the surface of cells in an ...
