But scientists, starting with Alexander Kowalevsky had reported the presence of single (nonmotile) cilia in a variety of vertebrate cells (Kowalevsky 1867). These solitary and apparently ...

Biological cells often possess thin, hair-like protrusions on their surface known as cilia, which serve various functions ...

Biological cells often possess thin, hair-like protrusions on their surface known as cilia, which serve various functions ranging from movement to sensing environmental signals. Researchers from ...

Structure of a cilium of ... which resulted in the cilia showing significantly increased stickiness. Nonetheless, the algal cells were still able to move on surfaces by means of the adhering ...

In mature cells, the cilia are disassembled and go away completely. However, the centriole, the structure from which the cilium grows, remains docked on the surface of these mature cells.

Proteins in the sheath of cellular protrusions control how effectively cells can adhere to surfaces. Biological cells often ...

Prachee Avasthi took a winding path to specializing in studying cilia—the hairlike appendages that enable cells to move about and sense their environments. During her undergraduate days at the ...
