By reexamining 3D images used to map the connections between brain cells, researchers are uncovering new information about a ...

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 ...

Now, researchers are pointing to the dysfunction of cilia, microscopic antennas of cells, essential for receiving and processing vital signals. In 2016, an international consortium led in Belgium ...

Through additional analysis detailed in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the team found that genes important for maintaining cilia turn off as the cells mature, suggesting that ...
