Biomolecules, 2020 Background: Cilia are actin based cellular protrusions conserved from algae to complex multicellular organisms like Homo sapiens. Respiratory motile cilia line epithelial cells of the tracheobronchial tree, beat in a synchronous, metachronal wave, moving

Metachronal Waves in Cellular Automata: Cilia-Like Manipulation in Actuator Arrays [PDF]
, 2014 Paramecium is covered by cilia. It uses the cilia to swim and transport food particles to its mouth. The cilia are synchronised into a collective action by propagating membrane potential and mechanical properties of their underlying membrane and the liquid phase environment.

Collective synchronization states in arrays of driven colloidal oscillators
New Journal of Physics, 2012 The phenomenon of metachronal waves in cilia carpets has been well known for decades; these waves are widespread in biology, and have fundamental physiological importance.

Characterization of metachronal wave of beating cilia on frog's palate epithelium in tissue culture. [PDF]
The Journal of Physiology, 1987 1. A method is suggested to measure phase versus distance between beating cilia by means of a photoelectric device. A statistical method interpreting the results thus obtained is discussed. 2. It was found that: (a) an average phase exists between beating cilia, (b) despite strong fluctuations in phase on a short time scale, the average phase was kept ...

Channel flow of Ellis fluid due to cilia motion
Nonlinear EngineeringIn this report, a theoretical study is directed at the cilia motion of the Ellis fluid model due to the propagation of an infinite metachronal wave train traveling along the walls of the channel due to the continuous beating of the cilia.

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
