Innate immunity and chronic rhinosinusitis: What we have learned from animal models
Laryngoscope Investigative Otolaryngology, Volume 1, Issue 3, Page 49-56, June 2016., 2016 Objective Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a heterogeneous and multifactorial disease characterized by dysregulated inflammation. Abnormalities in innate immune function, including sinonasal epithelial cell barrier function, mucociliary clearance, response to pathogen‐associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) via pattern recognition receptors, and the ...

Magnetic Reprogramming of Self‐Assembled Hard‐Magnetic Cilia
Advanced Materials Technologies, Volume 9, Issue 13, July 8, 2024.Hard‐magnetic cilia form through self‐assembly of NdFeB microparticles within a thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer. NdFeB cilia can be remagnetized, which reprograms their actuation behaviors. Performing demagnetization prior to remagnetization improves the reprogrammability of the cilia.

A Mathematical Model for the Flow of a Casson Fluid due to Metachronal Beating of Cilia in a Tube
The Scientific World Journal, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015 A mathematical model is developed to study the transport mechanism of a Casson fluid flow inspired by the metachronal coordination between the beating cilia in a cylindrical tube. A two‐dimensional system of nonlinear equations governing the flow problem is formulated by using axisymmetric cylindrical coordinates and then simplified by employing the ...

Hydrodynamic interactions of cilia on a spherical body [PDF]
Phys. Rev. E 93, 033111 (2016), 2015 Microorganisms develop coordinated beating patterns on surfaces lined with cilia known as metachronal waves. For a chain of cilia attached to a flat ciliate, it has been shown that hydrodynamic interactions alone can lead the system to synchronize. However, several microorganisms possess a curve shaped ciliate body and so to understand the effect of ...

Role of spatial heterogeneity on the collective dynamics of cilia beating in a minimal 1D model
, 2017 Cilia are elastic hairlike protuberances of the cell membrane found in various unicellular organisms and in several tissues of most living organisms. In some tissues such as the airway tissues of the lung, the coordinated beating of cilia induce a fluid ...

Light‐Fueled Nonreciprocal Self‐Oscillators for Fluidic Transportation and Coupling
Advanced Materials, Volume 36, Issue 12, March 21, 2024.Non‐equilibrium self‐sustained motions are widely reported in stimuli‐responsive material systems. Here, a cilia‐like soft actuator that can perform self‐sustained oscillation under water, with programmable nonreciprocal strokes, is demonstrated. The self‐oscillators can realize microfluidic pumping, translocation of a micro‐object, and coupling ...
