A team led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers has uncovered the atomic structure of a protein complex pivotal to the function of motile cilia, the hair-like structures extending from the ...

Some of the body's cells stay put for life, while others are free to roam. To move, these migratory cells rely on filopodia—sensitive, finger-like protrusions that reach out from the cell membrane ...

A study has found that primary cilia differ across brain regions and may locally produce proteins, challenging long-standing ...

That means researchers can now use it to better understand how genes function, how diseases start and how to design better treatments. "Every single cell can have a different chromosome structure," ...
