A team led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers has uncovered the atomic structure of a protein complex pivotal to the function of motile cilia, the hair-like structures extending from the ...

Cilia are evolutionarily conserved, microtubule-based organelles that project from the surface of most eukaryotic cells and play a central role in sensing ...

Researchers demonstrated that declining Hedgehog signaling from Cilk1 loss produces stepwise changes in tooth formation ...

Using antibodies to specific T2Rs, they singled out four specific receptors localized in cilia protruding from epithelial cells that line airways. "I was very surprised" by the results, Shah told ...

Too much fat can be unhealthy: how fat cells, so-called adipocytes, develop, is crucial for the function of the fat tissue. That is why a team led by researchers from the University Hospital Bonn (UKB ...

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 ...
