Ciliated epidermal cells of normal Xenopus embryos deposit dense actin filaments across the entire apical surface 7, and this actin mat can be readily seen when 3D confocal datasets are observed ...

Two types of airway cells play a vital role in this process: mucus cells, which secrete mucus to trap harmful particles, and ciliated cells, which use their finger-like projections to sweep the ...

By first collecting the cells, the team can efficiently analyze hundreds of cells in minutes. Results were published in and featured on the inside back cover of the journal Soft Matter in the June ...

SARS-CoV-2 replication targets nasal ciliated cells early in COVID-19 infection. The establishment of nasal mucosal immunity against SARS-CoV-2 through a nasal vaccine could be the most efficient ...

Goblet cells in the nose and subsegmental bronchi also show ACE2 expression – at higher levels than on ciliated cells, in fact. This could explain how SARS-CoV-2 infects these cells ...

The primary ciliated cell (left) is a precursor cell, which has just begun the multiciliation cycle. The more mature multiciliated cell (right) has hundreds of centrioles and cilia as a result of the ...

Nasal Ciliated Cells Are Primary Targets for SARS-CoV-2 Replication in Early Stage of COVID-19. Journal of Clinical Investigation, July 1st, 2021; Posted in: ...

Newly identified, rare pulmonary ionocytes (green) dot the landscape of ciliated cells (magenta) of the mouse lung airway lining. [Montoro et al./Nature 2018] ...
