For a long time, almost all attention was on the motile cilia because their function was readily observable. But scientists, starting with Alexander Kowalevsky had reported the presence of single ...

Biological cells often possess thin, hair-like protrusions on their surface known as cilia, which serve various functions ranging from movement to sensing environmental signals. Researchers from ...

but instead form a protective layer that regulates the adhesiveness of the cilia. ‘This discovery expands our knowledge of how cells regulate direct interaction with their environment,’ explains plant ...

Proteins in the sheath of cellular protrusions control how effectively cells can adhere to surfaces. Biological cells often ...
