On the other hand, injury or infection of the airways has been shown to cause disorientation after first impeding ciliary movement 11, arguing that disorientation is a consequence, rather than ...

Research in my lab focuses on better understanding how motile cilia structure affects its function. Motile cilia are tiny, hair-like, appendages that extend off of cells in your body to move ...

While the exact mechanism of light production may vary among species, the coordinated movement of cilia is also responsible for generating bioluminescent displays in certain ctenophores.

These authors believe that impaired ciliary movement leads to antigen stasis on the airway surface (allergens or substances that stick to the airways), which stimulates an inflammatory response ...

The movement of these miniature bio-robots is orchestrated by microscopic hairs known as "cilia," sourced from the human trachea. Unlike their natural function in clearing respiratory pathways ...

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 ...
