Nonreciprocal interactions give rise to fast cilium synchronization in finite systems. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2023 Motile cilia beat in an asymmetric fashion in order to propel the surrounding fluid. When many cilia are located on a surface, their beating can synchronise such that their phases form metachronal waves.

Significance of Slippage and Electric Field in Mucociliary Transport of Biomagnetic Fluid
Lubricants, 2021 Shear stress at the cilia wall is considered as an imperative factor that affects the efficiency of cilia beatings as it describes the momentum transfer between the fluid and the cilia.

Rheological fluid motion in tube by metachronal waves of cilia [PDF]
Applied Mathematics and Mechanics, 2017 This paper presents a theoretical study of a non-linear rheological fluid transport in an axisymmetric tube by cilia. However, an attempt has been made to explain the role of cilia motion on the transport of fluid through the ductus efferentes of the male reproductive tract.

Reprogrammable Magnetically Actuated Self‐Assembled Cilia Array
Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 5, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023 A reprogrammable magnetically actuated self‐assembled (RMS) cilia array which has a shape and motion similar to natural cilia is proposed. It shows asymmetric motion and metachronal wave (MCW) by reprogramming and applying strike and rotating magnetic fields. Particle movements are examined in fluid tests and analyzed through simulations to confirm the

THE METACHRONAL WAVE OF LATERAL CILIA OF MYTILUS EDULIS [PDF]
The Journal of Cell Biology, 1972 The form of beat of cilia and the structure of the metachronal wave on the lateral gill epithelium of Mytulus edulis have been studied on living material by interference-contrast microscopy and stroboscopic illumination, and compared with the same features in rapid-fixed preparations studied by light microscopy and with the scanning electron microscope.

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 67, Issue 12, Page 2706-2717, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Lobate ctenophores are often numerically dominant members of oceanic epipelagic and midwater ecosystems. Despite this, little is known about their trophic ecology. Multiple, co‐occurring species are often found in these ecosystems and appear to feed similarly via feeding currents that entrain prey.

A Synthetic Minimal Beating Axoneme
Small, Volume 18, Issue 32, August 11, 2022., 2022 Cilia and flagella are cellular appendages that beat rhythmically to transport fluids and propel living organisms. The authors report the reconstitution of a synthetic cilium from the bottom up using biological building blocks, namely microtubules and axonemal dynein.

Metachronal wave formation in 3D cilia arrays for mucus transport
, 2017 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 ...
