A dedicated bioimaging function at GSK has shown how integrated microscopy and analytics can deliver quantitative evidence ...

New research has identified the mechanism by which air pollution damages the lungs’ self-cleaning system, leaving us vulnerable to infection. In doing so, it has also identified a way to reverse that ...

Ciliates, a group of single-celled ciliated eukaryotes, have been studied since the dawn of light microscopy, with over 10,000 species described. Cilia are the key feature of ciliates and contribute ...

The awe-inspiring process of cell division can turn a fertilized egg into a baby – or a cancerous cell into a malignant tumor. With so much at stake, nature keeps it tightly controlled in a process ...

A Mayo Clinic study used a patient's stem cells to help repair the spinal cord. A man who was paralyzed from the neck down after a surfing accident seven years ago is now able to stand and walk on his ...

Nasal epithelium. Ciliated columnar epithelium. epithelial cells forms the lining of the stomach and intestines, duodenum, fallopian tubes, uterus, central canal of the spinal cord, nose, ears and the ...

The primary cilium is a critical sensory organelle that is built of axonemal microtubules ensheathed by a ciliary membrane. In polarized epithelial cells, primary cilia reside on the apical surface ...

An Anthrobot is shown, depth colored, with a corona of cilia that provides locomotion for the bot. Credit: Gizem Gumuskaya, Tufts University The multicellular bots move around and help heal “wounds” ...

Motile cilia protruding from airway epithelial cells propel pathogens out of the lungs. Respiratory ciliated cells have an efficient supply chain that provides ATP to power cilia beating; the ...
