'Cilia', from CSHLPress, examines key aspects of ciliary biology -- from the molecular to the organismal level -- in normal physiology and disease. The contributors dissect the complex structures ...

Research in cilia biology integrates complex genetic, structural and biochemical approaches to decipher the mechanisms of ciliogenesis, the dynamic regulation of ciliary assembly and disassembly ...

Cilia can act as sensors of the cell's | Cell And Molecular Biology. In recent years, researchers have been learning more about why cellular antennas called cilia are so important. Cilia can act as ...

Motile cilia are tiny appendages that can be found on the surface of some cell types, such as lung epithelial cells. The regular beating of motile cilia can affect a variety of processes, including ...

“Ciliary microtubules don't adhere to any of the normal properties of microtubules,” Bayless says. “From a cell biology perspective, it's a unique case.” Last summer, Bayless was awarded a $407,661 ...

Structural protein essential for ciliary harmony in comb jellies Date: October 24, 2019 Source: University of Tsukuba Summary: Researchers have identified a structural protein that is essential ...

Scientists capture the protein complex responsible for transporting signaling molecules to cilia in unprecedented detail. Using single-particle cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM), researchers at ...
