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 ...

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.

Chronic Hypobaric Hypoxia Modulates Primary Cilia Differently in Adult and Fetal Ovine Kidneys
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.

Ependymal cilia beating induces an actin network to protect centrioles against shear stress
Nature Communications, 2018 Ependymal ciliary beating contributes to the flow of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain ventricles and these cilia resist the flow forces. Here the authors show that the assembly of a dense actin network around the centrioles is induced by cilia beating to

MHD compressible fluid with variable thermal conductivity through a ciliated channel
Advances in Mechanical Engineering, 2021 This paper employs to discuss the cilia induced flow of a compressible Jeffrey fluid with variable characteristic of thermal conductivity. Thermal conductivity is thermally variable. Effects of thermal radiation and MHD are also explored.
