Moreover, the team noticed that the four different T2Rs localized to different parts of a single cilia. "As far as I know, no one has seen different receptors of the same family localizing ...

Many organisms – ranging from single-cell protists to humans – rely on microscopic hair-like structures to perform a wide range of cell signaling and motility-related tasks. 1 Flagella, cilia and pili ...

To help answer these questions, researchers at UTSW and elsewhere have investigated the structures of various protein complexes that make up motile cilia's inner workings. Most of these studies ...

In humans, for example, cilia are found on most cell types. There are two classes of cilia; one is non-motile (typically called 'primary') and the other is motile and is interchangeably called ...

The multiciliated cells in nasal epithelium carry structures called microvilli, spikes that protrude from cells and move particles. One multiciliated cell can also have hundreds of motile cilia, and ...

Human bronchial epithelial cells self-construct into multicellular motile living architectures. A) Workflow for producing Anthrobots. NHBE cells’ apical-in to apical-out transition is ...

The main findings concluded that clock proteins, which are proteins that regulate a 24-hour rhythm within a cell and are coded by clock genes, have much to do with the regulation of the primary cilia.

The researchers also used immunofluorescence microscopy to visualize proteins on live beta cells. They observed that the cilia contained motor proteins that are responsible for active motion in ...

What are cilia? Cilia are threadlike projections that extend from the main body of a eukaryotic cell. They are typically smaller than flagella, however, they share many structural similarities with ...

The researchers' findings, reported in Nature Structural & Molecular Biology, which involve radial spoke 3 (RS3), help answer some fundamental questions about how motile cilia work and could ...
