Cilia are important for regulating cellular processes, but because of their small size and number, it has been difficult for scientists to explore cilia in brain cells with traditional techniques ...

Cilia are tiny, hair-like structures that extend from the surface of many cells and play crucial roles in various cellular functions, including movement, sensing the environment, and signaling.

Cilia are outgrowths of the plasma membrane of eukaryotic cells that contain a specialised cytoskeleton. Motile cilia are present on multiciliated cells and use this cytoskeleton to move fluid ...

Introduction: Primary cilia play an important role in the development of cancer by regulating signaling pathways. Several studies have demonstrated that women with BRCA mutations have, on average, 50% ...

Neurons may get all the glory, but they would be nothing without glial cells. While brain cells do the heavy lifting in the ...

Department of Child Health, University of Leicester School of Medicine, Robert Kilpatrick Clinical Sciences Building, Leicester Royal Infirmary, P O Box 65, Leicester LE2 7LX, UK BACKGROUND The aim of ...

But his excitement was short-lived. When his guests arrived, they served him with a paper that had just been published in Science, which told the exact same story. “It knocked the wind off my sails,” ...

Therefore, the neuronal elements controlling the ciliary beating are often assumed to vanish with the cilia and regarded as purely larval specializations. With volume EM, we followed the neuronal ...

This important Research Advance presents convincing evidence on the neuroprotective effects of reserpine in a well-established model of retinitis pigmentosa (P23H-1). This study builds on previous ...

This advanced drug delivery platform offers new opportunities to overcome the problem of rapid dissolution of nasal cilia and the barrier function of the nasal mucosa when delivering drugs from the ...
