The list of genetic diseases associated with dysfunction of primary cilia continues to expand. Two new studies add to this growing body of literature and provide a fascinating example of the clinical ...

Ciliary beat frequency in neonates with mild bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) significantly differed vs. moderate or severe BPD. Cilia bended angle and amplitude significantly differed between the ...

ATS 2025, San Francisco – Premature infants are at risk of bronchopulmonary dysplasia, or BPD, a type of lung injury associated with increased mortality. Now a new study published at the ATS 2025 ...

Nearly every cell in the human body has one or more protrusive structures called cilia or flagella. These power cell movement and fluid flow, sense the extracellular environment, coordinate cell ...

Premature infants are at risk of bronchopulmonary dysplasia, or BPD, a type of lung injury associated with increased mortality. Now a new study published at the ATS 2025 International Conference shows ...

Cilia are minute hair-like structures present on the surface of respiratory mucosa. Each of these cilia beat continuously at 10–18 Hz, and this beating creates a constant flow of periciliary fluid, ...

In many cells of the human body, hair-like protrusions known as cilia act as antennae, allowing cells to receive signals from their environment and other cells. As cells grow and divide, each cilium ...

Middle-ear infections caused by Gram-negative bacteria remain among the most common pediatric illnesses worldwide.

Most biologists are familiar with motile cilia, the finger-like appendages that allow unicellular organisms to swim, and the specialized cells that move fluids and clear away debris in our kidneys and ...
