For a long time, almost all attention was on the motile cilia because their function was readily observable. But scientists, starting with Alexander Kowalevsky had reported the presence of single ...

"We also found that when the magnetization of the microparticles is perpendicular to the long axis of the cilia, we can cause the cilia to 'snap' in a rotating field, meaning they abruptly change ...

Biological cells often possess thin, hair-like protrusions on their surface known as cilia, which serve various functions ...

Cilia drive fluid flow in development and physiology, but this requires that all cilia in a tissue orient the same way. Earlier studies indicated that both planar cell polarity (PCP) signalling ...

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 ...

C iliopathies are rare diseases in which the formation or function of cilia, cylindrical-shaped extensions found on the ...
