The establishment of nasal mucosal immunity against SARS-CoV-2 through a nasal vaccine could be the most efficient way to combat COVID-19 infection. Understanding how viral infection occurs can ...
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 ...
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 ...
