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

Researchers have figured out how to objectively quantify the beating action of cilia, the tiny, hair-like projections on cells that line nasal passages, the lungs and almost every other body tissue, ...

Cilia are microtubule-based hair-like organelles that extend from the surface of almost all cell types of the human body. They have been adapted as versatile tools for various tissue-specific (motile ...

Scientists have developed microrobots with high propulsion efficiency in highly-viscous fluid environments, applying propulsion techniques that mimic the ciliary stroke motion of paramecia. A Korean ...

MENLO PARK, Calif. & DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ReCode Therapeutics (the “Company”), a biopharmaceutical company pioneering disease-modifying genetic medicines using its proprietary LNP delivery ...

A team led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers has uncovered the atomic structure of a protein complex pivotal to the function of motile cilia, the hair-like structures extending from the ...

New Delhi: Researchers at AIIMS Delhi have developed an innovative technique for diagnosing primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD), a genetic respiratory condition often misdiagnosed. Their study, utilising ...

In vitro studies with organ (oviduct and trachea) and chicken embryo kidney cell cultures were attempted to assess the pathogenicity of locally isolated infectious bronchitis virus (IBV-P:120) ...

Such digital signatures could help doctors more quickly and accurately diagnose ciliary motion (CM) defects, which can cause severe respiratory airway clearance defects and also developmental defects ...
