To aid in assessing the impact of chemicals and drugs on cilia function in the small airway epithelium, the lung cilia beat frequency analysis in vitro assay is the ideal option. Using the ...

Immunofluorescence image of kidney epithelial cells where the cilia are stained with a red antibody and the protein ZDHHC5 is stained with a green antibody. The green and red channels are shifted ...

In many cells of the human body, hair-like protrusions known as cilia act as antennae, allowing cells to receive signals from their environment and other cells. As cells grow and divide, each cilium ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 119, No. 4 (January 25, 2022), pp. 1-9 (9 pages) Motile cilia are slender, hair-like cellular appendages that ...

A group of rare diseases called ciliopathies — polycystic kidney disease notable among them — emerge from defects in cilia. These are the tiny hairlike structures on the surface of almost every cell ...

In many cells of the human body, hair-like protrusions known as cilia act as antennae, allowing cells to receive signals from their environment and other cells. As cells grow and divide, each cilium ...

Cell biology researchers at the Department of Biology at the University of Copenhagen have made a discovery about two ciliary proteins that have previously been linked to diabetes, obesity and kidney ...
