Realizing the physics of motile cilia synchronization with driven colloids [PDF]

Annual Review of Condensed Matter Physics, 2015
Cilia and flagella in biological systems often show large scale cooperative behaviors such as the synchronization of their beats in "metachronal waves".

SARS-CoV-2 infection damages airway motile cilia and impairs mucociliary clearance

bioRxiv, 2020
Understanding how SARS-CoV-2 spreads within the respiratory tract is important to define the parameters controlling the severity of COVID-19. We examined the functional and structural consequences of SARS-CoV-2 infection in a reconstituted human ...

Redox regulation of motile cilia in airway disease. [PDF]

Redox Biol, 2019
Motile cilia on airway cells are necessary for clearance of mucus-trapped particles out of the lung. Ciliated airway epithelial cells are uniquely exposed to oxidants through trapping of particles, debris and pathogens in mucus and the direct exposure to inhaled oxidant gases.

Control of synchronization in models of hydrodynamically coupled motile cilia

Communications Physics, 2018
In many organisms, multiple motile cilia coordinate their beating to facilitate swimming or driving of surface flows. Simple models are required to gain a quantitative understanding of how such coordination is achieved; there are two scales of phenomena,

Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia (PCD): A genetic disorder of motile cilia. [PDF]

Transl Sci Rare Dis, 2019
Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a genetic disorder of motile cilia. Clinical features include chronic oto-sino-pulmonary disease, laterality defects, and male fertility reflecting impaired function of respiratory cilia in the upper and lower ...

TGF-β Signaling Regulates the Differentiation of Motile Cilia [PDF]

Cell Reports, 2015
The cilium is a small cellular organelle with motility- and/or sensory-related functions that plays a crucial role during developmental and homeostatic processes. Although many molecules or signal transduction pathways that control cilia assembly have been reported, the mechanisms of ciliary length control have remained enigmatic.

HEATR2 plays a conserved role in assembly of the ciliary motile apparatus. [PDF]

PLoS Genetics, 2014
Cilia are highly conserved microtubule-based structures that perform a variety of sensory and motility functions during development and adult homeostasis.
