Motile cilia are highly complex hair-like organelles of epithelial cells lining the surface of
various organ systems. Genetic mutations (usually with autosomal recessive inheritance) …

Primary ciliary dyskinesia is a genetically and clinically heterogeneous syndrome. Impaired
function of motile cilia causes failure of mucociliary clearance. Patients typically present with …

The diagnosis of primary ciliary dyskinesia is often confirmed with standard, albeit complex
and expensive, tests. In many cases, however, the diagnosis remains difficult despite the …

The core axoneme structure of both the motile cilium and sperm tail has the same
ultrastructural 9+ 2 microtubular arrangement. Thus, it can be expected that genetic defects …

Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a genetically heterogeneous, rare lung disease resulting
in chronic oto‐sino‐pulmonary disease in both children and adults. Many physicians …

A finely regulated system of airway epithelial development governs the differentiation of
motile ciliated cells of the human respiratory tract, conferring the body's mucociliary …

Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is an orphan disease (MIM 244400), autosomal recessive
inherited, characterized by motile ciliary dysfunction. The estimated prevalence of PCD is 1 …

Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a rare inherited condition affecting motile cilia and
leading to organ laterality defects, recurrent sino-pulmonary infections, bronchiectasis, and …

Multiciliated epithelial cells protect the upper and lower airways from chronic bacterial
infections by moving mucus and debris outward. Congenital disorders of ciliary beating …

Asthenozoospermia (AZS), defined by reduced motility or absent sperm motility, is one of the
main causes of male infertility. This condition may be divided into isolated AZS in the …
