The surfaces of most cell types are covered by hair-like cilia that play critical roles in cell and fluid motility, environment sensing, and cell-cell communication (signalling). New research from ...

Nearly every type of cell in the human body carries a little antenna-like structure called a cilium, which can serve various functions; they can sense things about their environment or receive signals ...

This is the first evidence that different mesothelioma types, characterized by different levels of aggressiveness, show a different pattern of primary cilium expression. Primary cilium is an organelle ...

Hedgehog (Hh) signaling relies on the primary cilium, a cell surface organelle that serves as a signaling hub for the cell. Using proximity labeling and quantitative proteomics, we identify Numb as a ...

Prof. Dr. Elif Nur Fırat Karalar from Koç University's Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics and her team have uncovered the molecular mechanisms responsible for regulating a structure that ...

The alternative text for this image may have been generated using AI. Cilia play obvious roles in several tissues, including cell motility (sperm) and transport of mucus, other fluids, and even other ...

Researchers have pinpointed the molecular cause of a rare genetic disease in humans called Bardet-Biedl syndrome, or BBS. People with the disorder suffer from obesity, retinal degeneration, kidney ...

The latest trends and issues around the use of open source software in the enterprise. Cilium is a software project. It is also the name of a membrane-bound organelle found on most types of eukaryotic ...
