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 ...
For a long time, almost all attention was on the motile cilia because their function was readily observable. But scientists, starting with Alexander Kowalevsky had reported the presence of single ...
Cilia are small hairs which beat to push the mucus back up the trachea so it can be swallowed and destroyed in the stomach. Clean air then enters the two bronchi, one bronchus going to each lung.
