But scientists, starting with Alexander Kowalevsky had reported the presence of single (nonmotile) cilia in a variety of vertebrate cells (Kowalevsky 1867). These solitary and apparently ...

As expected, larvae without opsin responded much less to the pressure cues and had defects in sensory cilia. The remaining question was how the photoreceptor cells convert pressure signals into ...

Introduction Primary cilia are eukaryotic organelles found singularly on almost every cell in the body. Primary cilia localise a number of developmental signalling pathways, and for some of these ...

The light receptors known as cones in the fovea of the retina appear in a fluorescence microscopy image created by Dr. Mrinalini Hoon at the University of Washington. Disclaimer: AAAS and ...

Disruption of photoreceptor cilia has been implicated in a variety of retinal diseases, collectively called retinociliopathies, such as Leber congenital amaurosis and retinopathy of prematurity.

This disrupts normal cell metabolism, leading to the death of photoreceptor cells and, eventually, geographic atrophy, which causes irreversible vision loss. Wet macular degeneration accounts for ...

Oct. 9, 2024 — Researchers have developed a groundbreaking cell culture platform that enables the formation of two distinct but interconnected vascular networks. Their breakthrough holds ...

Cells are the smallest unit of life and the building blocks for all organisms. Each component of a cell has its own function. Animal and plant cells differ and they have similarities. Nucleus ...
