A team of scientists, led by Dr. Helen Willsey from University of California, San Francisco, U.S., discovered that tiny hair-like structures called cilia, found on the surface of almost every cell, ...

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 ...

Cilia, the little "hairs" attached to almost all cells of the human body, ... Researchers from the group of Patrick Matthias and the FMI Structural Biology platform determined the structure, ...

Now, in a recently published Journal of Cell Biology paper, scientists used a newer electron microscopy technique, called volume electron microscopy (vEM), to examine how primary cilia on developing ...

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 ...

Revealing new biology. Cilia are notoriously difficult to study. In brain cells, a single cilium, only tens of microns long, extends from a cell's surface into a jumble of other cells.

Big Beautiful Bill' proposes cuts for National Institutes of Health and National Science Foundation, threatening valuable scientific research in Georgia and nationwide.

Brad Yoder, Ph.D., professor in the Department of Cell, Developmental and Integrative Biology (CDIB), has been appointed interim chair of the department effective January 1, 2016. Previous department ...

Cilia Biology and Ciliopathies Cilia are specialised, microtubule‐based organelles that project from the surface of most vertebrate cells and function as critical sensory and signalling platforms.
