Claws of cilia: further observation of ciliated epithelium in neurenteric cyst

Y Morita et al. Virchows Arch A Pathol Anat Histopathol. 1991.

Abstract

Claw-like projections and related structures on cilium tips in neurenteric cyst epithelium are described. The ciliary claws are about 20 nm in length and just beneath them four parallel electron-dense areas or lines are discernible. Similar structures were also observed in another case of neurenteric cyst. These structures are very similar to those reported previously, and it is suggested that they are commonly present in various ciliated epithelia in Man.
