Metachronal wave coordination encodes multimodal swimming in ciliated unicellular predators
Motile cilia are slender cellular appendages, conserved across eukaryotes ranging from unicellular protists to humans, that beat to generate fluid flow. In most organisms, cilia form dense arrays of thousands of filaments that coordinate their motion into persistent, temporally synchronized patterns known as metachronal waves.

Metachronal wave formation in 3D cilia arrays for mucus transport
Propulsion by beating cilia is an universal phenomenon developed by nature as a way to propel fluids. For the particular case of the human body, cilia are responsible for the left-right asymmetry of the heart in the early embryonic development, for the transport of nutrients in the brain, and for the transport of bronchial mucus in the mucociliary ...
