The results of experiments in mice models were "astounding," said biochemist Suzanne Pfeffer of Stanford University.

New research by Sumeda Nandadasa, Ph.D., reveals how a key protein associated with Meckel-Gruber syndrome, nephronophthisis, ...

Stanford researchers discovered that dialing down an overactive enzyme, LRRK2, can regrow lost cellular “antennae” in key ...

A team of scientists, led by Dr. Helen Willsey from University of California, San Francisco, U.S., discovered that tiny hair-like structures called cilia, found on the surface of almost every cell, ...

Primary cilia are important sensory organelles that play a role in cell signaling and development. “Sometimes people think of [primary cilium] as an antenna because they are coated in receptors and ...

Many cells in our body have a single primary cilium, a micrometer-long, hair-like organelle protruding from the cell surface that transmits cellular signals. Cilia are important for regulating ...

New research by Sumeda Nandadasa, PhD, reveals how a key protein associated with Meckel-Gruber syndrome, nephronophthisis, ...

A new study from Stanford Medicine has found that stopping an overactive enzyme in the brain might help protect and even ...

Now, researchers are pointing to the dysfunction of cilia, microscopic antennas of cells, essential for receiving and processing vital signals. A broken antenna. In 2016, ...

Inhibiting an overabundant enzyme saved a key component of a brain signaling pathway that is vital for motor control in a ...

Dysfunctions of the tiny cell processes (primary cilia*) of the pancreatic beta cells could be a cause of type 2 diabetes. Little is known about the structure and function of these cilia. An ...

New research from the University of Osaka has uncovered how air pollution impairs the lungs' self-cleaning system by damaging cilia on airway cells. The study also identifies a potential treatment ...
