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".

But the challenges made by other scientists include claims that the video contains shapes and movements which did not fit with normal cell structures or behaviours, and that the cilia seemed to be too big.

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.

Spirochetes, like the ones attached to M. paradoxa, joined up and became the cilia of eukaryotic cells.

The study examines how a particular signaling pathway within the cells' antennae, known as the primary cilium, affects heart development during embryonic development.

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

But almost all human cells also have one primary, or nonmotile, cilium that functions more like a molecular antenna.

The bristle is extremely delicate, scarcely thicker than a cilium, and easily overlooked, yet with proper focussing of the condenser I found it on every specimen examined.
