Method to measure calcium signaling in nanometer-sized primary cilia
Cilia are slender microtubule-based organelles that protrude from the apical membrane in most adherent cells. Studies looking into the mechanosensory function of the primary cilium have proved it to be an essential cellular organelle. When exposed to
Primary cilia: the story of the hair-like organelle that signals just became more complicated
Cells are the simplest functional unit of biological life. The basic components of cells are taught in biology classrooms across the globe, but despite being widely studied, cells still contain mysteries. Recently, scientists have rediscovered the existence
