You can increase white blood cells (WBCs) by taking certain medications and eating immune-boosting foods, like yogurt, lean protein foods, antioxidant-rich vegetables, and more. Maintaining a normal ...

It's commonly thought that sperm "race" to the egg, with the winner fertilizing it. But is this really the case?

Ciliogenesis is the process by which cilia – slender outgrowths on a cell's surface in eukaryotes – form. Motile cilia have a beating motion and serve to move fluids, whereas non-motile, or ...

Abstract: With the booming development of electronic skin, bio-inspired cilia tactile sensors have garnered significant research interest due to their superior ability to detect tangential force.
