What components of primary cilia are also essential for motile cilia function and vice versa ... Assembly and motility of eukaryotic cilia and flagella. Plant Physiology 127, 1500–1507 (2001).

Although scientists first identified primary cilia in human pancreatic islets 60 years ago and know that dysfunction of cilia affects the development and function of the pancreas, there are still many ...

Cilia are outgrowths of the plasma membrane of eukaryotic cells that contain a specialised cytoskeleton. Motile cilia are present on multiciliated cells and use this cytoskeleton to move fluid ...

Together, these findings provide new insights and raise new questions about how these differences and locations affect cilia function, Ott says. "We know that diseases that involve cilia can have ...
