Fractional Burgers Fluid Flow Due to Metachronal Ciliary Motion in an Inclined Tube
Frontiers in Physiology, 2019 Cilia-induced flow of fractional Burgers fluid is studied in an inclined tube for both symplectic and antiplectic wave patterns. The solution of the problem is persued under the long wave length limitation.

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 ...

Microfluidics for hydrodynamic investigations of sand dollar larvae
AIP AdvancesThe life cycle of most marine invertebrates includes a planktonic larval stage before metamorphosis to bottom-dwelling adulthood. During the larval stage, ciliary-mediated activity enables feeding (capturing unicellular algae) and transporting materials (

Molecular Genetics & Genomic Medicine, 2021 Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a mostly autosomal recessive, genetic disease of abnormal motile cilia function, resulting in bronchiectasis, infertility, organ laterality defects, and chronic otolaryngology disease.

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 ...

Left–right asymmetry: cilia stir up new surprises in the node [PDF]
Open Biology, 2013 Cilia are microtubule-based hair-like organelles that project from the surface of most eukaryotic cells. They play critical roles in cellular motility, fluid transport and a variety of signal transduction pathways.

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.This study introduces a novel chitosan‐based nanocarrier functionalized with a neurotropic protein for efficient siRNA delivery to neurons. The polyplexes demonstrate enhanced neuronal binding, retrograde transport, and PTEN silencing, promoting axonal outgrowth.

Method for Measuring Mucociliary Clearance and Cilia-generated Flow in Mice by ex vivo Imaging
Bio-Protocol, 2020 Ex vivo biophysical measurements provide valuable insights into understanding both physiological and pathogenic processes. One critical physiological mechanism that is regulated by these biophysical properties is cilia-generated flow that mediates ...

Ciliary propulsion and metachronal coordination in reef coral larvae
Physical Review Research, 2023 Larval dispersal is critical to the survival of coral reefs. As the only motile stage of the reproductive cycle, coral larvae choose a suitable location to settle and mature into adult corals.

The transient swimming of a waving sheet [PDF]
Proc. Roy. Soc. A (2010) 466, 2113, 2009 Small-scale locomotion plays an important role in biology. Different modelling approaches have been proposed in the past. The simplest model is an infinite inextensible two-dimensional waving sheet, {originally introduced by Taylor}, which serves as an idealized geometrical model for both spermatozoa locomotion and ciliary transport in Stokes flow ...
