Hirst, who is lead scientist for the NHS centre for PCD diagnosis at the university, said the cells and cilia "look nothing like those from PCD patients".

"I have been diagnosing PCD for 20 years by examining their cilia waveform, length, cell size and shape," he said.

These creatures typically swim using tiny hair-like structures known as cilia, which move in coordinated patterns to propel them through water.

This year's winning video was magnified to 100 times in size, and featured tiny hair-like structures, called cilia, in the airways of a child with a rare genetic disease.

His cilia are not cilia at all, but individual spirochetes, and at the base of attachment of each spirochete is an oval organelle, embedded in the myxotricha membrane, which is a bacterium.

Together, the patient genetics and experimental findings pointed to the primary cilium as an important part of the process that may contribute to congenital heart defects.

The reason for this daytime-induced enhanced healing process appears to be from the relationship the 24-hour cycle has on the length of the primary cilium.

Once the voltage is reversed, the oxygen is driven out of the platinum—and the cilium returns to its original shape.

The current model is that cilia are attached to one another by “tip links,” structures which link the tips of one cilium to another.

From the large size of each cilium they are very favorable creatures for exhibiting the real nature of the action, which gives rise to the rotatory appearance, and which can be easier studied than described.
