A new study published in Nature Communications by researchers from the Human Protein Atlas presents a high-resolution spatial map of proteins associated with motile cilia in the human fallopian tube, providing new insights into reproductive biology, infertility and cilia-related disease. All data from the study are publicly available in the Tissue Resource of the Human Protein Atlas...Read more

A recent addition to the single cell type section are the ciliated cells in the fallopian tubes. Ciliated cells in the fallopian tube play an important role in the female reproductive system, facilitating successful fertilization and transport of gametes. This time, we focus on the elevated expression of the genes forkhead box J1 (FOXJ1) and dynein axonemal intermediate chain 2 (DNAI2)...Read more

The fallopian tube mucosal layer is a simple columnar epithelium composed of secretory and ciliated epithelial cells, in order to provide the necessary environment for fertilization of the egg cell...Read more
