Microfluidic propulsion by the metachronal beating of magnetic artificial cilia: a numerical analysis [PDF]
, 2011 In this work we study the effect of metachronal waves on the flow created by magnetically-driven plate-like artificial cilia in microchannels using numerical simulations. The simulations are performed using a coupled magneto-mechanical solid-fluid computational model that captures the physical interactions between the fluid flow, ciliary deformation ...

In-Out Intermittency in Gap Junction-Coupled Class I^* Neurons [PDF]
, 2005 In a series of papers, we have proposed a dynamical model for gap junction-coupled networks of class I^* neurons, and investigated its dynamic characters.

Programmable metachronal motion of densely packed magnetic artificial cilia [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Despite recent advances in artificial cilia technologies, the application of metachrony, which is the collective wavelike motion by cilia moving out-of-phase, has been severely hampered by difficulties in controlling densely packed artificial cilia at micrometer length scales. Moreover, there has been no direct experimental proof yet that a metachronal

A codimension-2 bifurcation controlling endogenous bursting activity and pulse-triggered responses of a neuron model. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 The dynamics of individual neurons are crucial for producing functional activity in neuronal networks. An open question is how temporal characteristics can be controlled in bursting activity and in transient neuronal responses to synaptic input ...

Hydrodynamic Synchronization and Metachronal Waves on the Surface of the Colonial AlgaVolvox carteri [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2012 From unicellular ciliates to the respiratory epithelium, carpets of cilia display metachronal waves, long-wavelength phase modulations of the beating cycles, which theory suggests may arise from hydrodynamic coupling. Experiments have been limited by a lack of organisms suitable for systematic study of flagella and the flows they create.

Insect Science, EarlyView.This graphical abstract illustrates the kinematics and directionality of body turning in water striders (Gerris argentatus). The top image shows a water strider making turns, with arrows indicating possible directions and a dashed line tracing its path, highlighting its dynamic turning capabilities.

Realizing the physics of motile cilia synchronization with driven colloids
, 2015 Cilia and flagella in biological systems often show large scale cooperative behaviors such as the synchronization of their beats in "metachronal waves".
