Unlocking the Mysteries of Cilia Motors: Researchers Make Exciting Discovery
A recent study conducted by a team of scientists from the University of California, Berkeley has revealed an exciting new discovery about cilia, the tiny hairs that line the respiratory tract. By studying the molecular motors present in cilia, the researchers have been able to identify a previously unknown group of motors that help cilia move. This discovery could potentially lead to new treatments for respiratory disorders such as asthma or cystic fibrosis, as well as better ways to transport drugs or other particles through the respiratory system. The team’s findings have been published in the journal Nature Communications.
