Likewise, for many years it was generally assumed that the entire phylum Nematoda, comprising roundworms, completely lacked cilia or flagella. Now it is known that they contain primary cilia ...

The newly developed tiny robot is powered by a special synthetic material called liquid crystalline elastomer.

These counterparts are called ‘basal bodies’, because they are found at the base of cilia and flagella — motile, whip-like structures that grow out from the cell surface. In ciliated ...

Researchers introduces the first toroidal, light-driven micro-robot that can move autonomously in viscous liquids, such as mucus. This innovation marks a major step forward in developing micro-robots ...

Volume electron microscopy reveals a novel cellular process that is critical for healthy brain development, with implications ...

The whip-like beating of cilia expels mucus from our airways, for instance. Flagella, longer cilia, propel sperm. The cilia manufactured by Sanchez were not real cilia. The cilia in our body are made ...

coli bacteria employ corkscrew motions, cilia move in coordinated waves, and flagella rely on a whip-like beating to propel themselves forward. However, swimming at the microscale is akin to a human ...

Or dinoflagellates—speck-of-dust-size beings named for their two whiplike flagella and the whirling ... have rows of cilia along their sides. When this species (Beroe forkskalii) is touched ...

Microscopic battles rage around, on and in us at all times, and the microbial combatants use far more exciting weapons than ...

At this year’s HUPO annual meeting, the 24th version of the Human Protein Atlas has launched. We interviewed the HPA's ...
