Metachronal wave formation in a model of pulmonary cilia. [PDF]
Comput Struct, 2007 A three-dimensional simulation of the formation of metachronal waves in rows of pulmonary cilia is presented. The cilia move in a two-layer fluid model. The fluid layer adjacent to the cilia bases is purely viscous while the tips of the cilia move through a viscoelastic fluid.

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 ...

Phase-resolved dynamic wavefront imaging of cilia metachronal waves. [PDF]
Quant Imaging Med Surg, 2023 The coordination and the directional order of ciliary metachronal waves are the major factors that determine the effectiveness of mucociliary clearance (MCC). Even though metachronal waves play an essential part in immune response, clinical diagnostic tools and imaging techniques that can reliably and efficiently capture their spatial distribution and ...

Longitudinal to transverse metachronal wave transitions in an in-vitro model of ciliated bronchial epithelium [PDF]
bioRxiv, 2021 Myriads of cilia beat on ciliated epithelia, which are ubiquitous in life. When ciliary beats are synchronized, metachronal waves emerge, whose direction of propagation depends on the living system in an unexplained way.

In vivo volumetric depth-resolved imaging of cilia metachronal waves using dynamic optical coherence tomography. [PDF]
Optica, 2023 Motile cilia are dynamic hair-like structures covering epithelial surfaces in multiple organs. The periodic coordinated beating of cilia creates waves propagating along the surface, known as the metachronal waves, which transport fluids and mucus along ...

Miniaturized metachronal magnetic artificial cilia. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2023 Significance We created both symplectic and antiplectic miniaturized metachronal motion of arrays of identical magnetic artificial cilia by integrating a paramagnetic substructure in the substrate underneath the cilia and applying a simple uniform ...

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

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.
