ShareRespiratory Infections The airways are lined with tiny brush like hairs, called cilia. The cilia sweep out mucus and ...

Arterial vascular grafts are promising for vascular reconstruction but face risk of restenosis. Here, the authors report an electronic vascular conduit for in situ, long-term monitoring of ...

Researchers have found that some cells form new multicellular structures with functions that defy their original biological ...

A fully functional immune system can distinguish healthy tissue from unwanted substances. If it detects an unwanted substance, it will mount an immune response — a complex attack to protect the ...

In support of the EMBO-EMBL Symposia on Synthetic Morphogenesis and Mechanical Forces in Development, we have assembled a collection of our recent articles covering a wide range of topics on ...

A new analysis of samples of the glass found inside the skull and spinal cord suggests that the person’s body tissue must have been heated to above 510 degrees Celsius (950 degrees Fahrenheit ...

It can also cause lung and tissue damage and reduced air spaces and blood vessels. This type of damage reduces oxygen to vital body areas. Cilia are broom-like hairs that line the nasal passages, ...

Soft tissue sarcoma (STS) is a type of cancerous tumor that can grow in the body’s soft tissues. If it occurs in the thigh, it may feel like a person has a lump in their thigh, though symptoms ...

and improves fluid pumping in dense cilia carpets, but hardly affects the direction of fluid flow. In conclusion, we show that local synchronization together with tissue-scale cilia alignment coincide ...

It provides specific nutrients to brain cells, transfers metabolites from brain tissue, and maintains the acid-base balance of the central nervous system. To relieve pressure on the brain and spinal ...

Cilia, which either generate coordinated motion or sense environmental cues and transmit corresponding signals to the cell body, are highly conserved hair-like structures that protrude from the cell ...
