It was found that these proteins were present in high quantities on ciliated cells. Moreover, the apical (upper) sides of these cells showed higher levels of these molecules in comparison to the ...

Scientists present a new understanding of the connection between two distinct mechanisms for pumping fluids in living organisms: the 'flame' model and the 'carpet' model of ciliated ducts.

The Device: The next step in artificial skin technology could owe its inspiration to beetle wings. Researchers looking to create a flexible sensor that detects mechanical force similar to the way skin ...

A ciliated protozoan Balantidium coli infects the intestine and causes complications leading to balantidiasis. Balantidium (largest protozoan) is the only ciliate capable of infecting humans.
