Dynein-2 is one of the motors that move the intraflagellar transport (IFT) trains ― large protein complexes that are needed for the assembly and function of eukaryotic cilia and flagella.

The bacterial flagellin fusion protein, FliTrx, was modified by inserting a peptide containing 24 histidine residues and shown to successfully export and self-assemble to form flagella nanotubes. The ...

Researchers have found that human sperm does not follow Newton's third law of motion, and the implications of this research ...

Motility is the ability to move spontaneously from one location to another by consuming energy. In biology, the term usually refers to single-celled and simple multicellular organisms, and ...

CA is a central part of the axoneme, the microscopic engine that powers the movement of motile cilia and flagella. These structures are not only essential for sperm to reach and fertilize an egg ...

This paper presents a method for detecting human gastric-motility dysfunction using a wireless electronic capsule. The capsule's main components include an application-specific integrated circuit, ...

Magnetically controlled micro-robots have been arousing more and more attentions because of their great performances in motion, and potentials in biomedical engineering, such as micro-invasive ...

Background Non-cholinergic non-adrenergic neural mechanisms involving nerves containing NO have been shown to modulate smooth muscle in the gastrointestinal tract, and it has been suggested that ...

Low sperm count can be caused by a number of issues and create difficulty getting pregnant. Fortunately, several very effective treatments are available.

After oral administration of the fluorescent particles, NIR-II imaging at a frame rate of 30 fps revealed the intestinal motility with a peristaltic frequency of 0.51 ± 0.02 beats per second and food ...
