Unlike the normal Fallopian tube (left), the "cilia-less" Fallopian tube fails to pick up ovulated eggs, leading to female infertility (right).

In a new mouse study, researchers have used optical coherence tomography (OCT) to uncover new insights into how the fallopian ...

They used the technique to map and quantify cilia location, beat frequency, and motile coordination through tissue layers in the fallopian tube of a living mouse with micro-scale spatial resolution.

Researchers know about many of cilia's roles, but not exactly how they beat in the first place. A new mathematical model aims to uncover the secret to cilia's beating motions.

Early fallopian tube cell changes were found in a high‑risk patient. A live tissue bank and organoid system will help explore ...

Fallopian tube rheology regulates epithelial cell differentiation and function to enhance cilia formation and coordination. Journal: ...

After the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in June, gynecologists across the country have reported seeing an increase in patients who want to get their fallopian tubes tied. The Washington ...

Removing fallopian tubes during sterilization is about as safe as sterilization procedures that damage the tubes but leave them intact, a new study suggests — a finding that could help reduce ...
