Researchers have developed a new optical coherence tomography (OCT) approach that can directly image coordination of tiny hair-like structures known as motile cilia in their natural environment. The ...

In mapping the primary cilia in human cells, researchers at KTH Royal Institute of Technology and Stanford University have opened the door to identifying new disease-causing genes and better ...

The researchers' findings, reported in Nature Structural & Molecular Biology, which involve radial spoke 3 (RS3), help answer some fundamental questions about how motile cilia work and could ...

The mechanics of those bending bot legs is similar, but the cilia system's function and applications are different, and quite flexible. "What we're showing here," Cohen said, "is that once you can ...

A pellicular complex associated with the somatic, oral, and anterior ventral field cilia is revealed clearly by scanning electron microscopy in pre-reproductive (precystic) swimming individuals of the ...
