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 ...

Cilia are sensory structures extending from ... which were initially used to study the collective motion of self-propelling agents," Mingcheng Yang, co-author of the paper, told Phys.org.
