THE rate of vibration of cilia is usually too great to permit of accurate observation with an ordinary microscope unless the light be interrupted at a suitable frequency and for suitable periods of ...
Primary cilia are sensory organelles present on the cell surface; however, their physical structure has not been defined due to technical reasons. A new PNAS study examined primary cilia in human ...
Scientists have developed microrobots with high propulsion efficiency in highly-viscous fluid environments, applying propulsion techniques that mimic the ciliary stroke motion of paramecia. A Korean ...
