Researchers Reveal the Pathogenesis of a Rare Respiratory Disease Through Super-Resolution Microscopy

Researchers reveal the pathogenesis of a rare respiratory disease through super-resolution microscopy

Researchers at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) have uncovered how mutations in a specific gene can trigger a rare respiratory disease, shedding light on the critical role played by cellular structures known as cilia. Cilia are tiny hair-like organelles extruding from the surface of most cell types, serving either sensory or motile functions.
