By reexamining 3D images used to map the connections between brain cells, researchers are uncovering new information about a small, elusive, and often overlooked cellular appendage.

primary cilia can simultaneously support major IFT functions of the cell (Figure 3). The primary cilium has gone from being an oddity, with no known function, to an organelle that is at the center ...

The cilia are antenna-like organelles that sense shifts in the extracellular environment and communicate these changes to the intracellular space. Although scientists first identified primary cilia in ...

Many cells in our body have a single primary cilium, a micrometer-long, hair-like organelle protruding from the cell surface that transmits cellular signals. Cilia are important for regulating ...
