Primary cilia under fluid flow downregulate mTOR signalling to inhibit cell size.

RACC has been rescuing stray and tethered animals from the scorching heat all week.

A hairlike appendage sticking out of brain cells may be much more important in the brain than scientists realized.

From these volumes, Ott and her team determined that primary cilia permanently disassemble as GC progenitors differentiate. Given that this disassembly occurs in postmitotic cells, the researchers ...

Cilia, the little "hairs" attached to almost all cells of the human body, play a role in various cellular functions and cause diseases called ciliopathies when they are defective. Researchers from ...

Although primary cilia have been recognized for more than one hundred years, they were often dismissed as vestigial organelles, with no known function. The discovery of intraflagellar transport ...

Mechanical manipulation of cilia was critical to the study “Mechanical manipulation of immotile LRO cilia activated intraciliary calcium transients that required the cation channel Polycystin-2.

By reexamining 3D images used to map the connections between brain cells, researchers are uncovering new information about a small, elusive, and often overlooked cellular appendage.

Large animal rescues just got easier for Richmond Animal Care and Control (RACC) following the gift of a new horse trailer.

Neuronal cilia contain synapses that signal for genomic alterations in the neuron nucleus, inducing long-term changes.
