cilium

Only recently has great progress been made in understanding the function of the primary cilium.

The primary cilium is now known to play an important role in the function of many human organs.

A cilium (fine hair) which projects above the surface and acts as a trigger.

The inner and outer segments are connected by a cilium.

Although the primary cilium was discovered in 1898, it was largely ignored for a century.

Without any warning a whip-like cilium would slash out of the fog, find its victim, and begin to contract.

Not to be confused with Cilium.

A cilium (plural cilia) is an organelle found in eukaryotic cells.

The protein encoded by this gene localizes to the primary cilium and to the plasma membrane.

Choanozoa have been described as possessing a posterior cilium.

However, the cilium does not elongate further, because older tubulin is simultaneously degraded.

Before mitosis can occur in most cells, the cilium is resorbed back into the cell.

"Almost every vertebrate cell has a specialized cell surface projection called a primary cilium.

Like flatworms they have a ciliated epidermis, but are unique in having but one cilium per cell.

These projections are called cilia (singular: cilium).

Each of these hair fibers have 40 to 70 stereocilia and a true cilium called a kinocilium.

On that, cilium is present, bearing hair-shaped structures on its surface (cilia).

The protein is found in the cytoplasm, centrosome, cell projections and cilium basal body.

Each cilium shows the typical eukaryote construction of nine external and two internal microtubules.

This cytoskeletal-like structure starts from the basal body at one end of the cilium and extends towards nucleus.

One kinocilium is the longest cilium located on the hair cell next to 40-70 sterocilia.

Retracts the Cilium of the cell, which is necessary prior to mitosis of the cell.

Once the cilium is completely formed, it continues to incorporate new tubulin at the tip of the cilia.

As the cell containing the cilium goes through the cell cycle, ciliogenesis must be regulated.

During G1, the mother centriole attaches at the cell cortex and forms the cilium.
