Primary ciliary dyskinesia, formerly known as immobile cilia syndrome, is caused by defects in the structure and function of cilia. Chronic sinusitis, otitis media, infertility, inverted position, and ...

The HSVM investigations showed slow-moving cilia beat frequency at 6.5 Hz. A total of 98% of the cilia showed normal beating, while 2% were immotile cilia. There was no obvious stiffness at the base ...

Metabolic syndrome is a constellation of conditions that together increase the risk of type 2 diabetes, stroke, and cardiovascular problems, including heart attack. The features of metabolic syndrome ...

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 ...

Asperger's syndrome refers to a high-functioning form of autism. Although it was once classified as its own condition, Asperger’s is no longer an official diagnosis in the Diagnostic and ...

Cilia are important for regulating cellular processes, but because of their small size and number, it has been difficult for scientists to explore cilia in brain cells with traditional techniques ...

med.unipi.it Background In primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) lung damage is usually evaluated by high-resolution CT (HRCT). Objective To evaluate whether HRCT abnormalities and Pseudomonas aeruginosa ...

1 Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia Centre, University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust, Southampton, UK Background Quality of life (QOL)-primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is the first ...

These structures are critical for formation of the primary cilium, by regulating at least four critical steps: ciliary vesicle recruitment, recruitment and initiation of intraflagellar transport (IFT) ...
