Cilia are outgrowths of the plasma membrane of eukaryotic cells that contain a specialised cytoskeleton. Motile cilia are present on multiciliated cells and use this cytoskeleton to move fluid ...

Many people know that colds, influenza, and COVID-19 are prevalent in the winter, but some may not know why infectious diseases are prevalent in the winter. Live Science, a science media outlet ...

The nasal olfactory region is a potential route for non-invasive delivery of drugs directly from the nasal epithelium to the brain, bypassing the often impermeable blood-brain barrier. However, ...

Patients gave informed, written consent for video recordings and to the use of the video recordings. Understanding the role of the epithelial cytokines thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), IL-25, and ...

Here, we discuss the neural network connecting the olfactory cortices to the higher cognitive areas that dynamically switches the processing mode from feedforward to top-down. These processes are ...

METHOD Ciliated epithelium was obtained by brushing the inferior nasal ... with the photomultiplier and –2.30 to 6.06 Hz with the photodiode. CONCLUSION Respiratory cilia beat forwards and backwards ...

The Drosophila antennal lobe houses synapses between olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) and downstream projection neurons (PNs) in stereotyped glomeruli. Many glomeruli exhibit structural plasticity in ...
