Discover how snowflake yeast defies expectations, growing exponentially due to physical processes, challenging traditional views on evolution.

In brief Urinary stents and catheters currently need to be replaced every two to six months due to blockages caused by bacterial biofilms and encrustations. Researchers from ETH Zurich, the University ...

The film discusses the anatomical and functional significance of the nose, throat, and ears from a medical perspective. It explains how the nose functions as an air passage that warms and filters ...

Motor neurons derived from patients with C21orf2 mutations had fewer cilia, and the cilia that remained were abnormally short. "This structural damage prevents proper signal transmission," says Dr ...

With their artificial cilia, researchers were able to mimic the sensing ability of biological cilia to develop technology capable of detecting mucus conditions, including viscosity and layer thickness ...

Immunoflurescent detection of primary cilia in NIH3T3 cell line with transfected FLAG-empty (control), FLAG-FOXN2, FLAG-FOXN2 Ubiquitnation mutant plasmids following 48-hour serum starvation. Cilia ...

The primary cilium is an antenna-like structure of the plasma membrane, which is composed of the basal body, the transition zone, and the axoneme. Primary cilia contain receptors and channels that ...

The team modeled cilia and their movement in three dimensions, both during a ‘power stroke’ that propels the mucus forward and during a ‘recovery stroke’ where the cilia return to their starting ...

Instead of using a casserole or rectangular baking dish, this Chicken and Rice Casserole is made entirely in a Dutch oven (or other heavy oven-safe pot with a lid). That said, if you don’t have one, ...

A new study led by MGH researchers now reveal that cilia in the organizer function as sensors for mechanical force exerted by flow to shape the left-right body plan of the developing embryo.

Cilia and flagella are evolutionarily conserved, microtubule-based, hair-like organelles that protrude from the cell surface. They are the fundamental units of motion in cellular biology, and also ...
