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 ...

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.Using ...

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 ...

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.
