Electrical Signaling in Motile and Primary Cilia
BioScience, 2014 Cilia are highly conserved for their structure and also for their sensory functions. They serve as antennae for extracellular information. Whether the cilia are motile or not, they respond to environmental mechanical and chemical stimuli and signal to the cell body.

Frontiers in Genetics, 2019 The motile cilium/flagellum is an ancient eukaryotic organelle. The molecular machinery of ciliary motility comprises a variety of cilium-specific dynein motor complexes along with other complexes that regulate their activity.

Robust estimation of the motile cilia beating frequency [PDF]
Medical & Biological Engineering & Computing, 2015 The estimation of the cilia beating frequency (CBF) is of great interest in understanding how the CBF modulates liquid fluxes and how it is controlled by the ciliated cell intra- and/or extracellular medium composition in physiological processes. Motion artifacts and camera defaults may hinder the computation of the frequency variations during long ...

eLife, 2023 The Reissner fiber (RF) is an acellular thread positioned in the midline of the central canal that aggregates thanks to the beating of numerous cilia from ependymal radial glial cells (ERGs) generating flow in the central canal of the spinal cord.

A Structural Basis for How Motile Cilia Beat [PDF]
BioScience, 2014 The motile cilium is a mechanical wonder, a cellular nanomachine that produces a high-speed beat based on a cycle of bends that move along an axoneme made of 9+2 microtubules. The molecular motors, dyneins, power the ciliary beat. The dyneins are compacted into inner and outer dynein arms, whose activity is highly regulated to produce microtubule ...

Assessment of liquid media requirements for storing and evaluating respiratory cilia motility [PDF]
PeerJMucociliary clearance is critical for maintaining normal lung function. Respiratory cilia which drive mucociliary clearance are commonly studied by measuring cilia beat frequency (CBF).

Concurrent Actuation and Sensing in Fluid by Cilia‐Like Transducers
Advanced Intelligent Systems, 2023 Motile cilia are miniature, hair‐like organelles whose beating moves fluid in various organisms and the human body. Motile cilia are also able to sense many mechanical or fluidic cues.

Molecular Biology of the CellCilia are highly complex motile, sensory, and secretory organelles that contain perhaps 1000 or more distinct protein components, many of which are subject to various posttranslational modifications such as phosphorylation, N-terminal acetylation, and proteolytic processing.

Rsph4a is essential for the triplet radial spoke head assembly of the mouse motile cilia.
PLoS Genetics, 2020 Motile cilia/flagella are essential for swimming and generating extracellular fluid flow in eukaryotes. Motile cilia harbor a 9+2 arrangement consisting of nine doublet microtubules with dynein arms at the periphery and a pair of singlet microtubules at ...
