The cilia are antenna-like organelles that sense shifts in the extracellular environment and communicate these changes to the intracellular space. Although scientists first identified primary cilia in ...
Cilia drive fluid flow in development and physiology, but this requires that all cilia in a tissue orient the same way. Earlier studies indicated that both planar cell polarity (PCP) signalling ...
Cilia are outgrowths of the plasma membrane of eukaryotic cells that contain a specialised cytoskeleton. Motile cilia are present on multiciliated cells and use this cytoskeleton to move fluid ...
