Autism spectrum disorders are complex neurodevelopmental conditions affecting about 1 in 100 children worldwide. Early diagnosis would allow timely intervention to improve the development and ...

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.

The primary cilia on LECs may be playing a crucial role in the development and maintenance of the lymphatic network throughout life as the network responds to wounds and cancer. In a mouse model, the ...

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 ...

Yoder’s research over the past 20 years has focused on the mechanisms regulating cilia formation and their sensory and signalling activities. His recent studies have uncovered that cilia in mammals ...

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

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.

Cilia, the little "hairs" attached to almost all cells of the human body, play a role in various cellular functions and cause diseases called ciliopathies when they are defective. Researchers from ...

However, the mechanistic explanation of primary cilia assembly and function, crucial for the understanding of cilia-related defects and their therapeutic targeting, is insufficient. The successful ...
