A study offers new insights into the "antennae" - or primary cilia - that human cells use for signal processing. This atlas ...

Attached to nearly every human cell is an antenna-like structure known as the primary cilium, which senses the cell's ...

Cilia are ubiquitous on cells, playing a variety of roles, Dr. Nicastro explained. While non-motile cilia serve as sensors for chemical and mechanical signals, motile cilia rhythmically beat to propel ...

Cell biology researchers at the Department of Biology at the University of Copenhagen have made a discovery about two ciliary proteins that have previously been linked to diabetes, obesity and kidney ...

Imagine tiny, living robots swimming through your body to deliver medicine right where it’s needed. Scientists at Carnegie ...

Cilia and flagella are microtubule-based organelles that extend from the surface of eukaryotic cells and play pivotal roles ...

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 ...

Carnegie Mellon scientists create AggreBots, tiny lung-cell robots powered by cilia with controlled motility.Word excerpt: ...

AggreBots are mini living robots made from human cells that can move, spin, and swim, paving the way for medicine delivery and tissue repair.

Microscale biological robots made from human lung cells are advancing in Carnegie Mellon’s Ren lab, with new research showing ...
