Ciliary metachronal wave propagation on the compliant surface of Paramecium cells

Cytoskeleton, 2015
Ciliary movements in protozoa exhibit metachronal wave‐like coordination, in which a constant phase difference is maintained between adjacent cilia. It is at present generally thought that metachronal waves require hydrodynamic coupling between adjacent cilia and the extracellular fluid.

Metachronal wave of artificial cilia array actuated by applied magnetic field

Japanese Journal of Applied Physics, 2016
Abstract In this paper, a biomimetic microstructure related to cilia, which are effective fluidic and conveying systems in nature, is described. Authors have already reported that a magnetic elastomer pillar actuated by a rotating magnetic field can work like a natural cilium. In the present work, we show examples of a cilia array with a

In vivo dynamic quantitative imaging of cilia metachronal wave in mouse fallopian tube with optical coherence tomography

BiOS, 2023
Motile cilia are hair-like microtubule-based organelles covering epithelial surfaces of multiple organ systems, including lungs, airways, kidneys, and fallopian tubes.

Metachronal wave form analysis on cilia-driven flow of non-Newtonain Phan–Thien–Tanner fluid model: A physiological mathematical model

Proceedings of the Institution of mechanical engineers. Part E, journal of process mechanical engineering, 2022
The Phan–Thien–Tanner non-Newtonian model of fluid flow is considered to mathematically model the cilia governed flow inside the human body. The collective action of cilia generates a rhythmic motion in form of metachronal wave traveling along the wall ...

A comparative study of MHD fluid-particle suspension induced by metachronal wave under the effects of lubricated walls

International Journal of Modern Physics B, 2021
In this paper, the two-phase flow of non-Newtonian fluid is investigated. The main source of the flow is metachronal waves which are caused by the back and forth motion of cilia attached to the opposite walls of the channel. Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) of

Nature of the mammalian ciliary metachronal wave

Journal of Applied Physiology, 1993
The temporal and spatial coordination of ciliary beat (metachronicity) is fundamental to effective mucociliary transport. Metachronal wave period (MWP) and ciliary beat frequency (CBF) of fresh excised sheep and canine tracheal epithelial tissues were measured with the use of a newly developed alternating focal spot laser light scattering system.

Synchronization, phase locking, and metachronal wave formation in ciliary chains [PDF]

open access: possibleChaos: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Nonlinear Science, 2008
Synchronization and wave formation in one-dimensional ciliary arrays are studied analytically and numerically. We develop a simple model for ciliary motion that is complex enough to describe well the behavior of beating cilia but simple enough to study collective effects analytically.

On metachronism in ciliary systems: A model describing the dependence of the metachronal wave properties on the intrinsic ciliary parameters

Cell Motility, 1990
AbstractA mathematical model is proposed to explain the dependence of the direction and the length of the metachronal wave on parameters that characterize the ciliary beat, the dimensions of the cilia, and the geometry of their arrangement on the ciliated surface.

Metachronal wave analysis for magnetized Williamson fluid through a ciliated curved channel

Proceedings of the Institution of mechanical engineers. Part E, journal of process mechanical engineering
Cilia play an important role in many psychological processes such as locomotion, alimentation, circulation, respiration, and reproduction. Therefore, the present investigation is modeled to study the impact of velocity slip on the cilia motion of ...

Reconstitution of Metachronal Waves in Ciliated Cortical Sheets of Paramecium: I. Wave Stabilities

Journal of Experimental Biology, 1994
ABSTRACT We reconstituted metachronal waves on ciliated cortical sheets prepared from detergent-extracted Paramecium multimicronucleatum cells. Ciliary movements of the cortical sheet, whose intracellular side adhered to a glass coverslip, were reactivated by perfusion of a basic reactivation medium containing ATP. In this condition, the
