Reprogrammable Magnetically Actuated Self‐Assembled Cilia Array
Advanced Intelligent Systems, 2023 Motile cilia move in an asymmetric pattern and implement a metachronal wave (MCW) to facilitate fluid movement in a viscous environment. Studies have been conducted to mimic MCW movement of motile cilia, but the fabrication process is too complicating or

Mathematical Modeling of Mucociliary Clearance: A Mini-Review
Cells, 2019 Mucociliary clearance is an important innate host defense of the mammalian respiratory system, as it traps foreign substances, including pollutants, pathogens, and allergens, and transports them out of the airway.

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.

Cilia-assisted hydromagnetic pumping of biorheological couple stress fluids
Propulsion and Power Research, 2019 A theoretical study is conducted for magnetohydrodynamic pumping of electro-conductive couple stress physiological liquids (e.g. blood) through a two-dimensional ciliated channel. A geometric model is employed for the cilia which are distributed at equal

A codimension-2 bifurcation controlling endogenous bursting activity and pulse-triggered responses of a neuron model. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 The dynamics of individual neurons are crucial for producing functional activity in neuronal networks. An open question is how temporal characteristics can be controlled in bursting activity and in transient neuronal responses to synaptic input ...

Spontaneous Synchronization of Beating Cilia: An Experimental Proof Using Vision-Based Control
Fluids, 2018 This article investigates the formation of spontaneous coordination in a row of flexible 2D flaps (artificial cilia) in a chamber filled with a high viscous liquid (Re = 0.12). Each flap is driven individually to oscillate by a rotary motor with the root

Trapping study of nanofluids in an annulus with cilia
AIP Advances, 2015 The main purpose of this article is to present a mathematical model of ciliary motion in an annulus. In this analysis, two dimensional flow of a viscous nanofluid is observed in an annulus with ciliated tips. The current theoretical model may be supposed
