Biofilm Control by Active Topography with Mucin Coating

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study reports a new antifouling strategy based on a bioinspired design. Mucin coating enhances biofilm control by active topography with beating micron‐sized pillars. Besides the mechanical force of beating pillars, the antibiofilm activities also involve biological factors since mucin coating inhibits swarming motility and c‐di‐GMP synthesis in ...

Spontaneous creation of macroscopic flow and metachronal waves in an array of cilia [PDF]

, 2006
Cells or bacteria carrying cilia on their surface show many striking features : alignment of cilia in an array, two-phase asymmetric beating for each cilium, coordination between cilia and existence of metachronal waves with a constant phase difference between two adjacent cilia.

Symmetry breaking cilia-driven flow in the zebrafish embryo [PDF]

J. Fluid Mech. (2012), vol. 705, pp. 26-45, 2013
Fluid mechanics plays a vital role in early vertebrate embryo development, an example being the establishment of left-right asymmetry. Following the dorsal-ventral and anterior-posterior axes, the left-right axis is the last to be established; in several species it has been shown that an important process involved with this is the production of a left ...

Biological Fluid Mechanics Under the Microscope: A Tribute to John Blake

, 2018
John Blake (1947--2016) was a leader in fluid mechanics, his two principal areas of expertise being biological fluid mechanics on microscopic scales and bubble dynamics. He produced leading research and mentored others in both Australia, his home country,

Engineering Assembloids to Mimic Graft‐Host Skeletal Muscle Interaction

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study develops a graft‐host skeletal muscle assembloid model combining neuromuscular organoids with tissue‐engineered constructs. Pre‐seeding decellularized muscles with myogenic cells enhances cell migration and axon invasion from the organoid. The model exhibits regenerative capacity following acute damage, advancing the understanding of human ...

Uni-directional ciliary membrane protein trafficking by a cytoplasmic retrograde IFT motor and ciliary ectosome shedding [PDF]

, 2015
The role of the primary cilium in key signaling pathways depends on dynamic regulation of ciliary membrane protein composition, yet we know little about the motors or membrane events that regulate ciliary membrane protein trafficking in existing ...

Fractional generalized Burgers’ fluid flow due to metachronal waves of cilia in an inclined tube

Advances in Mechanical Engineering, 2017
In this study, the cilia-induced flow is discussed for fractional generalized Burgers’ fluid in an inclined tube. The mathematical model of fractional generalized Burgers’ fluid flow is obtained under the long-wavelength approximation.
