Metachronal patterns by magnetically-programmable artificial cilia surfaces for low Reynolds number fluid transport and mixing [PDF]
, 2022 Motile cilia can produce net fluid flows at low Reynolds number because of their asymmetric motion and metachrony of collective beating. Mimicking this with artificial cilia can find application in microfluidic devices for fluid transport and mixing ...

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

BioFactors, Volume 48, Issue 6, Page 1226-1249, November/December 2022., 2022 Abstract Ocular allergies are becoming more prevalent as more airborne pollutants, irritants and microbes pervade our environment. Inflammatory and allergic mediators released by dendritic and mast cells within the conjunctiva cause allergic conjunctivitis (AC), a prevalent ocular surface disorder that affects >40% of the world's human population on a ...

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 ...

Developmental Dynamics, Volume 251, Issue 12, Page 1968-1981, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Background Injury response is key to successful regeneration. Yet, transcriptome analyses of injury response were performed only on a handful of regenerative organisms. Here, we studied the injury response of the solitary ascidian Polycarpa mytiligera, an emerging model system, capable of regenerating any body part.

Thermodynamic cost of synchronizing a population of beating cilia [PDF]
J. Stat. Mech. (2020) 074001, 2020 Synchronization among arrays of beating cilia is one of the emergent phenomena in biological processes at meso-scopic scales. Strong inter-ciliary couplings modify the natural beating frequencies, $\omega$, of individual cilia to produce a collective motion that moves around a group frequency $\omega_m$.
