Cilia are tiny, hair-like structures that extend from the surface of many cells and play crucial roles in various cellular functions, including movement, sensing the environment, and signaling.

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 ...

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.

Research using Chlamydomonas reinhardtii has demonstrated that ciliary movement is regulated by various cellular signals, including Ca 2+, ATP, and reactive oxygen species. Experiments involving ...

Motile cilia are tiny, hair-like, appendages that extend off of cells in your body to move extracellular fluid rapidly. Failure of motile cilia to move extracellular fluid faithfully results in severe ...
