Stimulation of electro-olfactogram responses in the main olfactory epithelia by airflow depends on the type 3 adenylyl cyclase [PDF]
, 2012 Cilia of olfactory sensory neurons are the primary sensory organelles for olfaction. The detection of odorants by the main olfactory epithelium (MOE) depends on coupling of odorant receptors to the type 3 adenylyl cyclase (AC3) in olfactory cilia.

Structures and functions of cilia during vertebrate embryo development
Molecular Reproduction and Development, Volume 89, Issue 12, Page 579-596, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Cilia are hair‐like structures that project from the surface of cells. In vertebrates, most cells have an immotile primary cilium that mediates cell signaling, and some specialized cells assemble one or multiple cilia that are motile and beat synchronously to move fluids in one direction.

Development of a Highly Differentiated Human Primary Proximal Tubule MPS Model (aProximate MPS Flow)
Bioengineering, 2023 The kidney proximal tubule (PT) mediates renal drug elimination in vivo and is a major site of drug-induced toxicity. To reliably assess drug efficacy, it is crucial to construct a model in which PT functions are replicated.

Cilia beating patterns are not hydrodynamically optimal [PDF]
Phys. Fluids 26, 091901 (2014), 2014 We examine the hydrodynamic performance of two cilia beating patterns reconstructed from experimental data. In their respective natural systems, the two beating patterns correspond to: (A) pumping-specialized cilia, and (B) swimming-specialized cilia.

Primary cilia disassembly down-regulates mechanosensitive hedgehog signalling: a feedback mechanism controlling ADAMTS-5 expression in chondrocytes [PDF]
, 2014 SummaryObjectiveHedgehog signalling is mediated by the primary cilium and promotes cartilage degeneration in osteoarthritis. Primary cilia are influenced by pathological stimuli and cilia length and prevalence are increased in osteoarthritic cartilage ...

Chloride channels regulate differentiation and barrier functions of the mammalian airway. [PDF]
, 2020 The conducting airway forms a protective mucosal barrier and is the primary target of airway disorders. The molecular events required for the formation and function of the airway mucosal barrier, as well as the mechanisms by which barrier dysfunction ...

An all-optical approach for probing microscopic flows in living embryos [PDF]
, 2008 Living systems rely on fluid dynamics from embryonic development to adulthood. To visualize biological fluid flow, devising the proper labeling method compatible with both normal biology and in vivo imaging remains a major experimental challenge.

Stepless shape morphing polymer
SmartMat, Volume 4, Issue 1, February 2023., 2023 Reversible stepless discretionary morphing polymer is produced by simply training commercial ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) via thermal treatment associated stretching. The key issue is that the crystals of UHMWPE memorize lots of temporary shapes as independent switching phases.
