Mathematical embryology: the fluid mechanics of nodal cilia [PDF]
arXiv, 2010 Left-right symmetry breaking is critical to vertebrate embryonic development; in many species this process begins with cilia-driven flow in a structure termed the `node'. Primary `whirling' cilia, tilted towards the posterior, transport morphogen-containing vesicles towards the left, initiating left-right asymmetric development.

Ccdc11 is a novel centriolar satellite protein essential for ciliogenesis and establishment of left-right asymmetry [PDF]
, 2016 The establishment of left–right (L-R) asymmetry in vertebrates is dependent on the sensory and motile functions of cilia during embryogenesis. Mutations in CCDC11 disrupt L-R asymmetry and cause congenital heart disease in humans, yet the molecular and ...

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.The present study investigates the role of the NLRP3 inflammasome in the chronicity of ocular inflammation in uveitis using the experimental autoimmune uveitis (EAU) model. Whole eyes collected from EAU mice, 12 weeks post induction, were sectioned and subjected to immunohistochemistry. The confocal images from these sections were then assessed for the

Designing metachronal waves of cilia [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 On surfaces with many motile cilia, beats of the individual cilia coordinate to form metachronal waves. We present a theoretical framework that connects the dynamics of an individual cilium to the collective dynamics of a ciliary carpet via systematic coarse-graining.

Intraflagellar transport delivers tubulin isotypes to sensory cilium middle and distal segments. [PDF]
, 2011 Sensory cilia are assembled and maintained by kinesin-2-dependent intraflagellar transport (IFT). We investigated whether two Caenorhabditis elegans α- and β-tubulin isotypes, identified through mutants that lack their cilium distal segments, are ...

Taking Vesicular Transport to the Cilium [PDF]
Cell, 2007 Defects in protein trafficking within the cell body and cilia are thought to underlie the human disease Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS). In this issue, Nachury et al. (2007) reveal that a large complex of proteins implicated in BBS cooperates with Rabin8-the GTP exchange factor for the small GTPase Rab8-to promote cilia formation and presumably movement of

Disparity of turbinal bones in placental mammals
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Turbinals are key bony elements of the mammalian nasal cavity, involved in heat and moisture conservation as well as olfaction. While turbinals are well known in some groups, their diversity is poorly understood at the scale of placental mammals, which span 21 orders.

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 67, Issue 12, Page 2706-2717, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Lobate ctenophores are often numerically dominant members of oceanic epipelagic and midwater ecosystems. Despite this, little is known about their trophic ecology. Multiple, co‐occurring species are often found in these ecosystems and appear to feed similarly via feeding currents that entrain prey.

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Plutonium was discovered and first synthesized in the early 1940's. Several isotopes of plutonium are used in nuclear technologies, 238Pu for heat generation and 239Pu for energy production and weapons. Both isotopes emit alpha particles, which pose a significant radiation hazard when incorporated into the body.
