This video presents a study in which, using cryo-electron microscopy, researchers determined the structure and mechanisms of a key component in the flagellar motor, which bacteria use to turn their ...

Flagellar assembly occurs at the distal tip of the organelle, which is far from the site of protein synthesis in the cell body. As a result, intraflagellar transport (IFT) is required to transport ...

When speaking of motors, most people think of those powering vehicles and human machinery. However, biological motors have existed for millions of years in microorganisms. Among these, many bacterial ...

Sperm swim, lung cells sweep mucus away, and the cells in the female Fallopian tube move eggs from the ovary to the uterus. Underlying these phenomena are flagella – slender, hair-like structures ...

Nagoya University scientists in Japan and colleagues at Yale University in the US have uncovered details of how the bacterial propeller, known as the flagellum, switches between counterclockwise and ...
