By reexamining 3D images used to map the connections between brain cells, researchers are uncovering new information about a ...

But virtually all other cells have a primary cilium. Likewise, for many years it was generally assumed that the entire phylum Nematoda, comprising roundworms, completely lacked cilia or flagella.

Once dismissed as the cellular equivalent of tonsils, primary cilia are now known to be invaluable antennae that help cells sense their environment. UAB's Bradley Yoder has helped connect primary ...

Dysfunctions of the tiny cell processes (primary cilia) of the pancreatic beta cells could be a cause of type 2 diabetes.

Whereas primary cilia have relatively little additional structure, motile cilia have both a central doublet of microtubules as well as inner and outer dynein arms and radial spokes, which are all ...

Ludo Van Den Bosch at VIB-KU Leuven, revealed that mutations in C21orf2 impair the formation and structure of primary cilia. Motor neurons derived from patients with C21orf2 mutations had fewer ...

Mature iPSC-derived RPE cells are visible by super resolution confocal microscopy. One primary cilium resides in the center of each cell. RPE cell borders are stained showing tight junction markers.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a serious and usually fatal neurodegenerative disorder in which motor neurons deteriorate and die. | Genetics And Genomics ...
