Cilia drive fluid flow in development and physiology, but this requires that all cilia in a tissue orient the same way. Earlier studies indicated that both planar cell polarity (PCP) signalling ...

Many cells in our body have a single primary cilium, a micrometer-long, hair-like organelle protruding from the cell surface that transmits cellular signals. Cilia are important for regulating ...

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 ...

These ‘Anthrobots,’ as they are named, are formed from adult human lung cells and exhibit remarkable abilities, such as self-construction and cilia-powered movement. This advancement not only ...
