Primary cilia are microtubule-based sensory organelles that are surrounded by a ciliary membrane. They are nucleated at their base by the mother centriole, and an accepted model is that primary cilia ...

Aim To quantify ciliary body position variability in glaucoma patients in order to determine if scleral transillumination should be used routinely to guide contact probe placement during ...

YOKOHAMA, Japan — With new theories suggesting that presbyopia may be caused by posterior chamber crowding rather than lens sclerosis, as has been the traditional teaching, there has been renewed ...

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 ...

Treatment-Related Mortality in Patients With Advanced-Stage Hodgkin Lymphoma: An Analysis of the German Hodgkin Study Group Tumor largest basal diameter and thickness of 7,369 patients were analyzed ...

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 ...

Lung, cilary dyskinesia Recent guidelines set forth by an interdisciplinary panel assembled by the American Thoracic Society sought to demystify primary ciliary dyskinesia and address 4 main ...

LOS ANGELES — Electrical stimulation of the ciliary muscles can improve near and intermediate vision in people with early presbyopia, researchers say. However, at least one expert expressed doubt that ...

Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a congenital disorder of children, caused by a variety of genetic mutations. It is thus a heterogeneous disorder, with the same clinical manifestations being ...

Scientists have developed microrobots with high propulsion efficiency in highly-viscous fluid environments, applying propulsion techniques that mimic the ciliary stroke motion of paramecia. A Korean ...

Researchers have identified a structural protein that is essential for the coordinated beating of millions of tiny cilia on the surface of comb jellies. When the protein was eliminated, the cilia ...
