Effects of Ocular Blood Flow Changes on the Efferent Activity of Cat Ciliary Nerves
The efferent activity of the short ciliary nerves was studied in 23 anesthetized cats. Spontaneous activity was recorded in all preparations, and 33% showed a rhythmic discharge. Ipsilateral common carotid occlusion (ICCO) at constant intraocular and arterial pressures changed the discharge frequency in 14 of 33 filaments. Of these, 13 filaments showed

A novel dendritic nano‐based slippery coating (DNSC), fabricated by encapsulating carboxyl silicone oil within amino dendritic silica nanoparticles and co‐embedding them in an epoxy resin matrix. The dendritic architecture enhances nanoparticle dispersion in the matrix and establishes mechanical interlock.

Mimicking Life: Autonomous Oscillating Artificial Cilia Driven by Chemical Power
The synthesis and motion analysis of chemically actuated, individually autonomous artificial cilia are presented. Driven by an internal chemical reaction, the self‐driven individual cilia require no external stimuli. They undergo periodic oscillatory motion with a 3D beat pattern and exhibit chemotactic shifts, reminiscent of biological systems.

Motile cilia play essential roles in various physiological processes including fluid flow generation and sperm motility. In this study, we identified 1,3-diphenyl-6-(4-phenylpiperazin-1-yl)benzo[e][1,2,4]triazin-7(1H)-one as a potent and reversible ...

Wall Drag on Free-Moving Ciliated Micro-Organisms [PDF]
It is generally assumed that wall drag on free-moving, self-propelled or passively moving micro-organisms is not significant under normal observation conditions. Yet the point at which such drag becomes significant has not been determined quantitatively.

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

ABSTRACT Background Eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (eCRSwNP) is characterized by persistent sinonasal inflammation and marked eosinophilic infiltration. Although the relationship between eosinophils and NP formation has been extensively studied, the mechanisms governing eosinophil transepithelial migration into the nasal mucosa ...
