Stanford researchers discovered that dialing down an overactive enzyme, LRRK2, can regrow lost cellular “antennae” in key ...

New research by Sumeda Nandadasa, Ph.D., reveals how a key protein associated with Meckel-Gruber syndrome, nephronophthisis, ...

Inhibiting an overabundant enzyme saved a key component of a brain signaling pathway that is vital for motor control in a ...

A team of scientists, led by Dr. Helen Willsey from University of California, San Francisco, U.S., discovered that tiny hair-like structures called cilia, found on the surface of almost every cell, ...

Primary cilia are important sensory organelles that play a role in cell signaling and development. “Sometimes people think of [primary cilium] as an antenna because they are coated in receptors and ...

New research by Sumeda Nandadasa, PhD, reveals how a key protein associated with Meckel-Gruber syndrome, nephronophthisis, ...

Revealing new biology. Cilia are notoriously difficult to study. In brain cells, a single cilium, only tens of microns long, extends from a cell's surface into a jumble of other cells.Using ...

The cilia of the lower respiratory tract are in constant motion, day and night, sweeping the overlying blanket of mucus toward the upper end of the esophagus.

A new study from Stanford Medicine has found that stopping an overactive enzyme in the brain might help protect and even ...

The story of Theresa Cilia is that of a woman who faced a long and painful legal battle, culminating in a victory that ...

Cilia are tiny, hair-like structures that trap viruses and debris and sweep them out of your airways. They're one of your body’s main defenses against infection.

Studying cilia development . After hearing about Ott’s work on the visual cortex, Saikat Mukhopadhyay, an associate professor at UT Southwestern, ...
