Novel analytical tools reveal that local synchronization of cilia coincides with tissue-scale metachronal waves in zebrafish multiciliated epithelia [PDF]
eLife, 2023 Motile cilia are hair-like cell extensions that beat periodically to generate fluid flow along various epithelial tissues within the body. In dense multiciliated carpets, cilia were shown to exhibit a remarkable coordination of their beat in the form of ...

Understanding locomotion in trilobites by means of three-dimensional models [PDF]
iScience, 2023 Summary: Trilobites were one of the first animals on Earth to leave their imprints on the seafloor. Such imprints represent behavioral traces related to feeding or protection, in both cases implying different types of locomotion.

Synchronization in cilia carpets: multiple metachronal waves are stable, but one wave dominates
New Journal of Physics, 2022 Carpets of actively bending cilia represent arrays of biological oscillators that can exhibit self-organized metachronal synchronization in the form of traveling waves of cilia phase.

Heat transfer analysis of Rabinowitsch fluid flow due to metachronal wave of cilia
Results in Physics, 2015 The present investigation concerns with the mechanical properties of a Rabinowitsch fluid model and the effects of thermal conductivity over it. Flow is considered to be occurring due to metachronal wave produced as a result of constant beating of cilia ...
