cilia

And hundreds of centrioles, intended for eventual construction of cilia at the cell surface, got stuck in the cell body.

However, existing magnetic cilia move in a fixed way.

Researchers have now demonstrated a technique for creating magnetic cilia that can be "reprogrammed," changing their magnetic properties at room temperature to change the motion of the cilia as needed.

To do that, the researchers first embed the cilia in ice, which fixes all of the cilia in the desired direction.

The centrioles, which hoist the microtubules on which chromosomes are strung for mitosis, are similar separate creatures; when not busy with mitosis, they become the basal bodies to which cilia are attached.

From "The Lives of a Cell" by Lewis Thomas

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.

Depending on its position, a cilium can be more effected by its neighbor than vice versa, especially in a dense carpet of cilia as it frequently occurs in nature.

He points out that Dogic's group created something that looks and acts very much like a cilium or flagellum with its multitude of proteins — but that may, in fact, work very differently.

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

Each of these had a body shaped like a pear, the small end being slightly incurved and produced into a long curved filament, or cilium, of extreme tenuity.
