Microfluidic pumping using artificial magnetic cilia
, 2018 One of the vital functions of naturally occurring cilia is fluid transport. Biological cilia use spatially asymmetric strokes to generate a net fluid flow that can be utilized for feeding, swimming, and other functions.

ciliaFA : a research tool for automated, high-throughput measurement of ciliary beat frequency using freely available software [PDF]
, 2012 Background: Analysis of ciliary function for assessment of patients suspected of primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) and for research studies of respiratory and ependymal cilia requires assessment of both ciliary beat pattern and beat frequency.

Relationship between Ciliary Blood Flow and Aqueous Production in Rabbits
Investigative Opthalmology & Visual Science, 2003 To determine the relationship between ciliary blood flow and aqueous flow by changing the mean arterial pressure (MAP) mechanically under controlled conditions in an animal model.In anesthetized rabbits, MAP and intraocular pressure (IOP) were measured by direct cannulation. MAP was controlled with occluders placed on the aorta and vena cava.

Reactivation of ethanol-calcium-isolated cilia from Tetrahymena pyriformis [PDF]
, 1967 Cilia isolated from Tetrahymena after ciliary shedding is induced by the addition of CaCl2 or other salts to cells suspended in an ethanol solution (4, 6, 11) have been studied chemically and enzymatically (4, 6, 11, 12, 13), but until now have never ...

Mucociliary clearance defects in a murine in vitro model of pneumococcal airway infection. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Mucociliary airway clearance is an innate defense mechanism that protects the lung from harmful effects of inhaled pathogens. In order to escape mechanical clearance, airway pathogens including Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus) are thought to ...

Basal body stability and ciliogenesis requires the conserved component Poc1 [PDF]
, 2009 Centrioles are the foundation for centrosome and cilia formation. The biogenesis of centrioles is initiated by an assembly mechanism that first synthesizes the ninefold symmetrical cartwheel and subsequently leads to a stable cylindrical microtubule ...

Traumatic Brain Injury-Induced Ependymal Ciliary Loss Decreases Cerebral Spinal Fluid Flow [PDF]
Journal of Neurotrauma, 2014 Traumatic brain injury (TBI) afflicts up to 2 million people annually in the United States and is the primary cause of death and disability in young adults and children. Previous TBI studies have focused predominantly on the morphological, biochemical, and functional alterations of gray matter structures, such as the hippocampus.
