Researchers have developed a new optical coherence tomography (OCT) approach that can directly image coordination of tiny hair-like structures known as motile cilia in their natural environment. The ...
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. -- Waves of undulating cilia drive several processes essential to life. They clear debris and mucus from the respiratory tract, move spinal fluid through the brain and transport ...

August – New funding! Our MPI NIH R01 study “Revealing cilia function in the human fallopian tubes” with the University of Arizona (MPI: Jennifer Barton and Irina Larina) has been funded for 5 years.
The researchers' findings, reported in Nature Structural & Molecular Biology, which involve radial spoke 3 (RS3), help answer some fundamental questions about how motile cilia work and could ...
New findings from a team of investigators at Johns Hopkins Medicine have ruled out a mechanism that scientists have long believed controls the number of hairlike structures, called cilia, protruding ...
One of the wonders of cell biology is its symmetry. Mammalian cells have one nucleus and one cell membrane, and most humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes. Trillions of mammalian cells achieve this ...
