To aid in assessing the impact of chemicals and drugs on cilia function in the small airway epithelium, the lung cilia beat frequency analysis in vitro assay is the ideal option. Using the ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 119, No. 4 (January 25, 2022), pp. 1-9 (9 pages) Motile cilia are slender, hair-like cellular appendages that ...

This calcium boost was followed by increased rates of ciliary beating. The taste-sensing abilities of motile cilia could also lead to bitter compound-mimicking drugs that could target motile cilia to ...

Many cells in our body have a single primary cilium, a micrometer-long, hair-like organelle protruding from the cell surface that transmits cellular signals. Cilia are important for regulating ...
