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 ...

However, again to the scientists’ surprise, the cilia on pancreatic cells deviated from this expected arrangement and had eight outer microtubule doublets and a central microtubule doublet or singlet.

For a long time, scientists thought this cancer came from the ovaries. But this new research, led by Professor Alexander ...

Inside the human airway, a certain cell type reigns supreme: multiciliated cells, decorated with dozens of hair-like cilia all beating in tandem. These cells are responsible for clearing out foreign ...

The team also tested other genes known to affect how long cilia grow, such as cyclin-dependent kinase-like 1-a gene involved in regulating cell activity-and defective dye filling protein 5, which ...

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2418938122 The researchers envision new medical devices featuring cilia on the inner and outer walls that, using ultrasound activation through the skin, will generate an ...

Researchers from ETH Zurich, the University of Bern and Bern University Hospital have developed a non-invasive cleaning technology: microscopic cilia on the stent surface are activated by ultrasound ...
