Human airway organoid cilia moving molecule at Texas Biomed (VIDEO)

Caption

A human airway organoid under a light microscope in the labs at Texas Biomed. The organoids have grown cilia, which are fine, hair-like structures that line the interior of the airway. Here, their movements appear like short flashes of light. A molecule is being moved along by the cilia, much like it would in the human body.
