To generate mice expressing CFTR specifically in ciliated cells, the EGFP cDNA in the previously described FOXJ1 construct 15 was replaced with the cDNA for human CFTR. 17 Transgenic mice were ...

Ciliates, a group of single-celled ciliated eukaryotes, have been studied since the dawn of light microscopy, with over 10,000 species described. Cilia are the key feature of ciliates and contribute ...

Ciliated muconodular papillary tumors (CMPTs) are rare, peripheral pulmonary lesions that have garnered increasing attention due to their unique histological and molecular characteristics. Typically ...

Understanding how viral infection occurs can provide important clues for researchers to develop strategies to prevent viral transmission and develop effective therapeutic agents and vaccines. SARS-CoV ...

Scientists present a new understanding of the connection between two distinct mechanisms for pumping fluids in living organisms: the 'flame' model and the 'carpet' model of ciliated ducts. The new ...

Researchers have found that nasal ciliated cells are targeted at the onset of COVID-19 infection, which may open the potential to prevent infection by establishing nasal mucosal immunity. The COVID-19 ...
