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.

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

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.

The natural sequence of events in larval settlement and metamorphosis of Hydroides elegans (Polychaeta; Serpulidae).

PLoS ONE, 2021
The broadly distributed serpulid worm Hydroides elegans has become a model organism for studies of marine biofouling, development and the processes of larval settlement and metamorphosis induced by surface microbial films. Contrasting descriptions of the

Peristaltic-Ciliary Flow of A Casson Fluid through An Inclined Tube

Communication in Biomathematical Sciences, 2021
The paper is concerned with the peristaltic-ciliary transport of a viscoplastic fluid (Casson fluid) through an inclined cylindrical tube. The peristalsis-cilia induced motion is analysed in the moving frame of reference under the lubrication ...

A novel mathematical modeling with solution for movement of fluid through ciliary caused metachronal waves in a channel

Scientific Reports, 2021
In the present research, a novel mathematical model for the motion of cilia using non-linear rheological fluid in a symmetric channel is developed.

Elastohydrodynamic phase-lock in two rotating cilia

Journal of Biomechanical Science and Engineering, 2017
Determination of left-right asymmetry of the body plan is achieved in the early embryo. At the 4-6 somite stage, a cavity structure, called a node, is observed in the ventral midline surface, in which hundreds of cilia rotate.
