The latest trends and issues around the use of open source software in the enterprise. Cilium is a software project. It is also the name of a membrane-bound organelle found on most types of eukaryotic ...

Primary cilia are sensory organelles present on the cell surface; however, their physical structure has not been defined due to technical reasons. A new PNAS study examined primary cilia in human ...

Loss of primary cilia results in the downregulation of PD-L1 expression, which contributes to unrestrained local T cell proliferation and activation. Ciliopathies are multisystem disorders ...

Some might say it looks like a finger. Others might see a worm. Scientists in the field often liken it to an antenna. The technical name is primary cilium. This slender, microscopic appendage juts out ...

Some see a finger. Others, a worm. Scientists often call it an antenna. This tiny structure, sticking out from the surface of most human cells, is known as the primary cilium. Though nearly every cell ...
