The role of centrosomal tubulin glutamylation has remained elusive for decades. Here, a new tool enables precise ...

Likewise, for many years it was generally assumed that the entire phylum Nematoda, comprising roundworms, completely lacked cilia or flagella. Now it is known that they contain primary cilia ...

A new study from the Faculty of Medicine at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem sheds light on how bacterial motion influences ...

Centrioles, organelles that organize the microtubule spindle required for ... bodies’, because they are found at the base of cilia and flagella — motile, whip-like structures that grow out ...

This diversity reflects the complexity of microtubule-dependent processes in higher organisms, including the assembly of cilia and flagella and the orchestration of chromosome segregation.

Research in the Quarmby lab is rooted in studies of calcium signaling and microtubule dynamics. Until recently, we were focused solely on understanding the mechanism by which cells shed their cilia ...

An underwater drone with long, spinning arms like the flagella of bacteria could survey the seas without endangering marine life, its creators claim ...
