Only recently it has been found that the primary cilia of each cell communicate with each other during the developmental stages of a fetus and are important for the development of different structures ...

Louis. In her lab at Washington University in St. Louis, endocrinologist Jing Hughes studies a peculiar structure that sticks out of the surfaces of human pancreatic islet cells: the primary cilium.

For a long time, almost all attention was on the motile cilia because their function was readily observable. But scientists, starting with Alexander Kowalevsky had reported the presence of single ...

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 ...

They provide nanometer-scale views of all the cells and structures in a volume of tissue—including cilia. "Every time you look into these large-scale volume data sets, you are seeing new biology ...

Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have uncovered why some patients with a rare genetic ...
