Their study, published in Microbiological Research, reveals that bacteria can evolve by losing their flagella, the structures responsible for movement. The study was led by Prof. Wang Junfeng from ...

PHYSICOCHEMICAL characterization of components of flagella and cilia is essential for an understanding of the mechanisms underlying flagellar and ciliary movement. The so-called “9 + 2” fibres ...

Magnetized algae micro swimmers retain speed and maneuverability, showing promise for targeted drug delivery in confined ...

A team of researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems (MPI-IS) in Stuttgart developed a biohybrid micro ...

Likewise, for many years it was generally assumed that the entire phylum Nematoda, comprising roundworms, completely lacked cilia or flagella. Now it is known that they contain primary cilia ...

The scientists discovered that adding a magnetic coating to green algae micro-swimmers had minimal impact on their swimming ability. The algae — using a breast-stroke motion with their flagella — ...
