The first image of the structures that power human cilia -- the tiny, hairlike projections that line our airways -- has now been produced and it could lead to much-needed treatments for people with ...
Our findings offer the possibility of molecular medicines to precisely target tiny defects in the axoneme and make cilia beat as they should. Molecular medicines are showing promise for other rare ...
We analysed L. mexicana flagellum length, structure and biochemical changes, using electron microscopy and cell lines-expressing enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP) fusions of axonemal proteins, ...
In people with PCD, the team found that cilia don’t beat correctly because key elements of the axoneme structure are missing, caused by genetic mutations. This new information could lead to new ...
