Primary cilia are microtubule-based sensory organelles that are surrounded by a ciliary membrane. They are nucleated at their base by the mother centriole, and an accepted model is that primary cilia ...

YOKOHAMA, Japan — With new theories suggesting that presbyopia may be caused by posterior chamber crowding rather than lens sclerosis, as has been the traditional teaching, there has been renewed ...

This page lists all known medications that could potentially lead to 'Ciliary muscle spasm' as a side effect. It's important to note that mild side effects are quite common with medications. The ...

Sangwon Kim, Hongsoo Choi, et. al., “Fabrication and Manipulation of Ciliary Microrobots with Non-reciprocal Magnetic Actuation”, Scientific Reports 2016, CC 4.0 The researchers were then able to set ...

Restoration of accommodation through the surgical correction of presbyopia has become the new frontier of refractive surgery. The baby-boom generation currently makes up more than 30% of the U.S.

Aim To quantify ciliary body position variability in glaucoma patients in order to determine if scleral transillumination should be used routinely to guide contact probe placement during ...

Researchers have identified a structural protein that is essential for the coordinated beating of millions of tiny cilia on the surface of comb jellies. When the protein was eliminated, the cilia ...

Cilia are small hair-like organelles that extend from cells and perform many functions, including motility and signaling. Researchers have now revealed that cilia have a specialized transport hub at ...

LOS ANGELES — Electrical stimulation of the ciliary muscles can improve near and intermediate vision in people with early presbyopia, researchers say. However, at least one expert expressed doubt that ...

Lung, cilary dyskinesia Recent guidelines set forth by an interdisciplinary panel assembled by the American Thoracic Society sought to demystify primary ciliary dyskinesia and address 4 main ...

Researchers helps define the role of an important ciliary protein, CEP290. The results could be applied toward targeted gene therapy in cilia-related diseases. A new study in the September 6 issue of ...

Premature infants are at risk of bronchopulmonary dysplasia, or BPD, a type of lung injury associated with increased mortality. Now a new study published at the ATS 2025 International Conference shows ...
