Using traditional microscopy methods to find and image cilia is like looking for needles in a haystack, and the sample sizes are often too small to draw conclusions. Researchers have gained some ...

For a long time, almost all attention was on the motile cilia because their function was readily observable. But scientists, starting with Alexander Kowalevsky had reported the presence of single ...

Cilia drive fluid flow in development and physiology, but this requires that all cilia in a tissue orient the same way. Earlier studies indicated that both planar cell polarity (PCP) signalling ...
