The proponents of an offshoot of creationism known as intelligent design argue that a flagellum is useless without every single one of these components, so such a structure could not have emerged ...

Researchers at the University of Tsukuba have identified a previously unknown species of unicellular organism in seawater ...

Eukaryotic centrioles and basal bodies are arranged to produce a cylindrical structure ... the role of internal coupling in co-ordinating bi-flagellate (two flagella) strokes.

Researchers have identified a previously unknown species of unicellular organism in seawater collected near Hachijojima Island. The newly discovered species, named Viscidocauda repens, belongs to the ...

This microtubule-based structure is highly complex and is not seen in other ... Germany have developed a microscopy technique that allowed for the visualization of the internal dynamics of the primary ...

To facilitate self-assembly, the center of the flagellum is hollow, from the base all the way to the tip of the filament. The structure of the flagellum differs depending on if it is in ...

Their jobs are vitally important. Flagella help sperm swim, sponges eat, and sweep mucus from the lungs, among other functions. Their length depends on their purpose but flagellas’ structure and ...
