He described cilia as cellular compartments where important proteins are brought together, as if in a Zoom meeting, to make decisions that guide a cell's development.

There, scientists reported that nerve cell cilia in C. elegans worms could float little packets containing chemical messages into the space between cells. Those signals may have a role in the ...

Revealing new biology. Cilia are notoriously difficult to study. In brain cells, a single cilium, only tens of microns long, extends from a cell's surface into a jumble of other cells.Using ...

The results of experiments in mice models were "astounding," said biochemist Suzanne Pfeffer of Stanford University.
