Novel Aspects of Cilia-Driven Flow of Viscoelastic Fluid through a Non-Darcy Medium under the Influence of an Induced Magnetic Field and Heat Transfer [PDF]
Mathematics, 2023 The spontaneous movement of natural motile cilia in the form of metachronal waves is responsible for fluid transport. These cilia, in particular, play important roles in locomotion, feeding, liquid pumping, and cell delivery.

Primary cilia respond to fluid shear stress and mediate flow‐induced calcium deposition in osteoblasts [PDF]
, 2013 Bone turnover in vivo is regulated by mechanical forces such as shear stress originating from interstitial oscillatory fluid flow (OFF), and bone cells in vitro respond to mechanical loading.

Chronic Hypobaric Hypoxia Modulates Primary Cilia Differently in Adult and Fetal Ovine Kidneys [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2017 Hypoxic environments at high altitude have significant effects on kidney injury. Following injury, renal primary cilia display length alterations. Primary cilia are mechanosensory organelles that regulate tubular architecture.

Influenza A virus enhances ciliary activity and mucociliary clearance via TLR3 in airway epithelium [PDF]
Respiratory Research, 2020 Background Viral respiratory tract infections, such as influenza A virus (IAV), are common and life-threatening illnesses worldwide. The mechanisms by which viruses are removed from the respiratory tract are indispensable for airway host defense ...

Microfluidic pumping using artificial magnetic cilia [PDF]
. Microsystems & Nanoengineering (2018) 4:11, 2018 One of the vital functions of naturally occurring cilia is fluid transport. Biological cilia use spatially asymmetric strokes to generate a net fluid flow that can be utilized for feeding, swimming, and other functions. Biomimetic synthetic cilia with similar asymmetric beating can be useful for fluid manipulations in lab-on-chip devices. In this paper,

Mixing and transport by ciliary carpets: a numerical study [PDF]
Journal of Fluid Mechanics / Volume 743 / March 2014, pp 124 - 14, 2013 We use a 3D computational model to study the fluid transport and mixing due to the beating of an infinite array of cilia. In accord with recent experiments, we observe two distinct regions: a fluid transport region above the cilia and a fluid mixing region below the cilia tip.

Subtype-Selective Positive Modulation of K\u3csub\u3eCa\u3c/sub\u3e2.3 Channels Increases Cilia Length [PDF]
, 2022 Small-conductance Ca2+-activated potassium (KCa2.x) channels are gated exclusively by intracellular Ca2+. The activation of KCa2.3 channels induces hyperpolarization, which augments Ca2+ signaling in endothelial cells.
