Cells only begin to move through the tissue, once a certain ratio of motility to growth rate is exceeded. In biology, it is well-known that cells can switch their motility on or off in response to ...

The kinocilium of vestibular hair cells is a unique organelle with molecular features of primary and motile cilia and may serve as an active, force-generating element within the hair bundle.

Bacteria are constantly moving by help of motility organs called flagella or pili to colonize new niches. Also, bacteria can exchange information, like “speaking to each other”, and thus acquire new ...

Scientists at EPFL have developed CenSpark, a fluorescent probe that makes centrioles and cilia visible inside living cells, helping researchers study cell division, development, and immunity like ...

A key pressure-sensing protein involved in intestinal movement and inflammation regulation has been identified. Researchers from Harvard Medical School (MA, USA) and the Icahn School of Medicine at ...

Researchers at EPFL have created CenSpark, a fluorescent probe that selectively labels centrioles and cilia in living cells across species. The tool enables unprecedented live imaging without genetic ...

One of the biggest challenges in cancer research is understanding why some tumor cells become especially aggressive, invasive and resistant to ...
