In many cells of the human body, hair-like protrusions known as cilia act as antennae, allowing cells to receive signals from their environment and other cells. As cells grow and divide, each cilium ...

Many cells in our body have a single primary cilium, a micrometer-long, hair-like organelle protruding from the cell surface that transmits cellular signals. Cilia are important for regulating ...

Loss of primary cilia results in the downregulation of PD-L1 expression, which contributes to unrestrained local T cell proliferation and activation. Ciliopathies are multisystem disorders ...

Cilia are ubiquitous on cells, playing a variety of roles, Dr. Nicastro explained. While non-motile cilia serve as sensors for chemical and mechanical signals, motile cilia rhythmically beat to propel ...

To nail down the motile cilia's role in these signaling pathways, Shah subjected cultured airway epithelial tissues to several bitter compounds, including nicotine. "We found a very nice dose ...

Nearly every organism on Earth follows a natural circadian rhythm that is coded by your cell's clock genes, which do exactly as you suspect from the name: regulate your body's rhythm on a 24-hour ...
