Researchers have identified a new way to fight infections like Lyme disease and syphilis by disrupting the bacteria's "motor, ...

Their study, published in Microbiological Research, reveals that bacteria can evolve by losing their flagella, the structures ...

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 ...

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

Scientists have developed a single-cell green microalgae coated with magnetic material. This miniature robot was put to the test: would the microalgae with its magnetic coating be able to swim through ...

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 ...
