DOI: 10.3389/fcell.2022.995847
Abstract: Cilia and flagella are slender cylindrical organelles whose bending waves propel cells through fluids and drive fluids across epithelia. The bending waves are generated by dynein motor proteins, ATPases whose force-generating activity changes over time… read more here.
