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 ...

These whip-like organelles help protect humans from disorders like hydrocephaly and epilepsy, but scientists are puzzled by their structure. Through an NIH-funded research project, Brian Bayless hopes ...

In many cells of the human body, hair-like protrusions known as cilia act as antennae, allowing cells to receive signals from ...

Cygb is a heme-containing globin protein that is not involved with oxygen transport or storage, unlike its pentacoordinate relatives, myoglobin and hemoglobin. Nevertheless, Cygb contains a ...

Cilia are small hair-like organelles that extend from cells and perform many functions, including motility and signaling. Researchers have now revealed that cilia have a specialized transport hub at ...

A Northwestern Medicine-led study has identified mutations in the gene CEP76 as a new cause of ciliopathies, shedding light ...
