Caption: Researchers led by Dr. William Snell (right), professor of cell biology, have found that an internal structure that helps build microscopic hairs called cilia is also responsible for a cell’s response to external signals. Other researchers involved include Drs. Junmin Pan (left), assistant professor of cell biology, and Dr. Qian Wang, lead author and postdoctoral researcher in cell biology.
