Physiological flow of Carreau fluid due to ciliary motion [PDF]

AIP Advances, 2016
In this paper, we have explained the ciliary motion of a Carreau fluid inside a symmetrical channel with ciliated walls. Carreau fluid equations for the two dimensional channel are interpreted by employing the low Reynolds number and long wave-length ...

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 ...

Modeling tissue-scale ciliary transport and mixing in three-dimensional Newtonian flow. [PDF]

PLoS Computational Biology
Mucociliary clearance is the primary defense mechanism in our respiratory system against aerosol pathogens and allergens. The rhythmic movement of cilia on airway-lining cells propels mucus flow, driving the movement of trapped particles.

Primary cilium and TULP3-dependent ciliary targeting of ACE2 in SARS-CoV-2 tropism [PDF]

Cell Communication and Signaling
Background Viruses initiate infection by engaging specific receptors on the host cell surface. While the surface receptor ACE2 mediates SARS-CoV-2 entry, the precise role of subcellular trafficking, particularly, the exact involvement of primary cilium ...

Ciliary peristalsis flow of hydromagnetic Sutterby nanofluid through symmetric channel: Viscous dissipation in case of variable electrical conductivity

Engineering Science and Technology, an International Journal
For the sperm to have the best chance of reaching the egg, the ciliated walls of the uterine tube must be meticulously monitored. Recognizing the significance of this investigation, a novel mathematical simulation of this process has been performed by ...

Effects of long-acting muscarinic antagonists on promoting ciliary function in airway epithelium

BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2022
Background Mucociliary clearance (MCC) is an essential defense mechanism in airway epithelia for removing pathogens from the respiratory tract. Impaired ciliary functions and MCC have been demonstrated in asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (

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 ...
