Shortening of primary cilia length is associated with urine concentration in the kidneys [PDF]

Kidney Research and Clinical Practice, 2023
Background The primary cilium, a microtubule-based cellular organelle present in certain kidney cells, functions as a mechano-sensor to monitor fluid flow in addition to various other biological functions.

Shape-programmable artificial cilia for microfluidics

iScience, 2021
Summary: The artificial ciliary motion has been known not to be hydrodynamically optimal, limiting their associated applications in the microscale flow domain.

A case study for heat and mass transfer of viscous fluid flow in double layer due to ciliated channel

Case Studies in Thermal Engineering, 2023
The present study is a measurement of the thermal and mass transfer of a two-layered flow of viscous fluid induced by cilia motion under the effect of buoyancy forces through a channel.

Primary Cilia and Atherosclerosis

Frontiers in Physiology, 2021
In artery tree, endothelial function correlates with the distribution of shear stress, a dragging force generated by flowing blood. In laminar shear stress areas, endothelial cells (ECs) are available to prevent atherosclerosis, however, ECs in disturbed

Entropy analysis in ciliary transport of radiated hybrid nanofluid in presence of electromagnetohydrodynamics and activation energy

Case Studies in Thermal Engineering, 2021
The entropy of hybrid nanofluids flow driven by cilia beating is examined theoretically in this study. To control the cilia induced transport, electroosmosis and magnetohydrodynamics are introduced in the model.

Influenza A virus enhances ciliary activity and mucociliary clearance via TLR3 in airway epithelium

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 ...

Altered mechanotransduction in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis osteoblasts: an exploratory in vitro study

Scientific Reports, 2022
Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is the most prevalent pediatric spinal deformity. We previously demonstrated elongated cilia and an altered molecular mechanosensory response in AIS osteoblasts.
