Biological cells often possess thin, hair-like protrusions on their surface known as cilia, which serve various functions ranging from movement to sensing environmental signals. Researchers from ...

This incredible array of functions derives from a startlingly simple code that specifies a hugely diverse set of structures. In fact, each gene in cellular DNA contains the code for a unique ...

An electron micrograph therefore provides an excellent blueprint of a cell's inner structures. Other less powerful microscopy techniques coupled with organelle-specific stains have helped ...
