But virtually all other cells have a primary cilium. Likewise, for many years it was generally assumed that the entire phylum Nematoda, comprising roundworms, completely lacked cilia or flagella.

For more than a century, scientists have known that most cells in the human body come equipped with an odd projection on their outer surfaces called the primary cilium. Unlike the wavy, hairlike cilia ...

Most of the body's cells have a structure called the primary cilium, or simply, cilium. This structure acts as an antenna, responsible for detecting signals in the cell's environment. Some of ...

The Hedgehog (Hh) pathway plays central roles in animal development and stem-cell function ... and protein-trafficking events at the primary cilium promises to shed light on the biochemical ...

Cilium is a dynamic sun protection system, that can be transformed from a vertical sun protection system to a horizontal, open position raised above a window. This solution limits the overheating ...

Mature iPSC-derived RPE cells are visible by super resolution confocal microscopy. One primary cilium resides in the center of each cell. RPE cell borders are stained showing tight junction markers.

They discovered structural features of stabilizing cilia with microtubules that end at different distances within the cilium.
