For a long time, almost all attention was on the motile cilia because their function was readily observable. But scientists, starting with Alexander Kowalevsky had reported the presence of single ...

1. How cilia talk» Primary (non-motile) cilia use membrane proteins in their role as a coordinator of the cell’s signaling pathways. New findings show how a cilium retains those membrane proteins—a ...

These cilia are linked to signaling pathways that regulate their motility, allowing epithelial tissues in airways to sense toxins or noxious compounds and help protect the lungs. Motile cilia on ...

Non-progressive motility refers to sperm that move but don ... tube thanks to the help of tiny hair-like projections called ...

There is a high degree of ciliary specialization, ranging from motile cilia of the respiratory epithelium to primary ...

B.S. – Biology. University of California at Irvine, Irvine, CA. Research in my lab focuses on better understanding how motile cilia structure affects its function. Motile cilia are tiny, hair-like, ...
