Cilia are ubiquitous on cells, playing a variety of roles, Dr. Nicastro explained. While non-motile cilia serve as sensors for chemical and mechanical signals, motile cilia rhythmically beat to propel ...

Cancer is often seen as a disease that arises from genetic mutations causing cells to divide uncontrollably and invade other parts of the body. But the spread of cells away from their origins is ...

Cancer is a disease that causes abnormal cells to reproduce and spread to other parts of the body, which can result in tumors or damage to the immune system that may become fatal. Healthy cells follow ...
