A new study of a protein found in cilia - the hair-like projections on the cell surface - may help explain how genetic defects in cilia play a role in developmental abnormalities, kidney disease and a ...

A protein called Kurly is needed for cilia to undulate and face in the correct direction to keep fluid moving over the surface of cells. The finding may help explain how genetic defects in cilia play ...

New research has unraveled the mystery of how microscopic cilia coordinate to move and propel marine creatures through water. Cilia are tiny, hair-like protrusions found in many organisms, including ...

CreatureCast - Cilia from Casey Dunn on Vimeo. Cilia are slender structures that protrude from a cell or organism and move in undulating waves. Many small animals use cilia to move, but these ...
