To study the movement of cilia, Louis Woodhams and Phil Bayly’s team built a model that was an approximation of the structure of the flagellar axoneme, the bundle of microtubules that make up ...

Then they applied this method to donated human pancreatic samples and used scanning electron microscopy to obtain a 3D view of cilia morphology. 2 The resulting image reveals the richness of the ...

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 ...

Schematic representation of the MucilAir™ pseudostrati ed respiratory epithelium grown on the surface of a porous membrane with culture medium on the basal side and air on the apical side. The ...

Cilia are outgrowths of the plasma membrane of eukaryotic cells that contain a specialised cytoskeleton. Motile cilia are present on multiciliated cells and use this cytoskeleton to move fluid ...
