Furthermore, the beating of ependymal cilia can propel CSF flow and create a concentration ... In conclusion, we think that this review will be useful in determining the precise mechanism of ...

Indeed, the structural and functional similarities of sensory organs across species suggest that similar mechanisms for keeping cilia safe may exist in mammals, where glial cells have been shown ...

Cilia are important for regulating cellular processes, but because of their small size and number, it has been difficult for scientists to explore cilia in brain cells with traditional techniques ...

Organs such as the heart and gut are asymmetrical, but the mechanisms that control their development have been unclear. Two papers in 4 July Nature, show that beating of cilia and fluid flow in the ...

At lytic levels, PLY-induced pores can overwhelm cellular homeostatic mechanisms, triggering both cellular proinflammatory signaling pathways and irreversible cellular injury that results in the ...

Known as the neighborhood grandma, 88-year-old Edna Schubert often spent her days helping children with their math homework or watching them ride their bikes on her driveway. She lived alone in ...
