JCS snapshots: the cilia and flagella edition

Posted by FocalPlane, on 24 November 2025

Journal of Cell Science recently published a Special Issue on Cilia and Flagella: from Basic Biology to Disease, edited by Pleasantine Mill and Lotte Pedersen. We invited the authors of the research published in this issue to produce JCS snapshots, short videos highlighting the key findings from their papers. Below, you can find the snapshots

Our featured image, acquired by Kaiden Power, shows the head and probolae of an Acrobeles complexus nematode. The cuticle furrows (annuli) and cilia pores are stained with Concanavalin A (red). The sample was mounted and imaged live on a DeltaVision widefield microscope with deconvolution post-acquisition.
