Cilia and flagella are small, microtubule-based organelles found on a wide range of eukaryotes, from single-celled protists to humans. These organelles protrude from the cell surface, acting as ...

The first line of defense our bodies have against respiratory invaders is our mucus. A layer of mucus lines our airways to trap invasive particles, and this layer is propelled along by the collective ...

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 ...

Cilia and flagella are slender cylindrical organelles whose bending waves propel cells through fluids and drive fluids across epithelia. The bending waves are generated by dynein motor proteins, ...

One tiny flick of a microscopic cellular hair, known as a cilium, can’t do much on its own. But together, these structures routinely pull off biological marvels within the body. Cilia remove inhaled ...

Activating LRRK2 mutations cause Parkinson’s disease, and pathogenic LRRK2 kinase interferes with ciliogenesis. Previously, we showed that cholinergic interneurons of the dorsal striatum lose their ...

In recent years, researchers have been learning more about why cellular antennas called cilia are so important. Cilia can act as sensors of the cell's environment and can send and receive signals.

The majority of biological rates are known to exhibit temperature dependence. Here I reveal a direct link between temperature and ecologically relevant rates such as swimming speeds in Archaea, ...

IFT is required for the assembly and maintenance of all cilia in plants, protists, and animals (4). Cilia are microtubule-based cell surface protrusions that extend from the basal body (centriole), ...
