Microscopic image showing stem cells in young (left) and old (right) airways with cell nuclei seen in blue, airway basal stem cells seen in red and ciliated cells seen in green.

Two specific nose cell types have been identified as likely initial infection points for COVID-19 coronavirus. Scientists discovered that goblet and ciliated cells in the nose have high levels of ...

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 ...

Ova are produced from germline cells in the ovaries. ... The oviduct is lined with ciliated cells. Every month, an ovum (egg) develops and becomes mature, and is released from an ovary.

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 ...

This straightforward, quick, and universal staining  method for ciliated protozoa utilizes live-cell tubulin staining dyes. It provides the adaptability to integrate immunofluorescence ...

Animal cells are specialised for the function they perform. Find out more with Bitesize. For students between the ages of 11 and 14.

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 ...
