Diagnostics and Management of Male Infertility in Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia
Diagnostics, 2021 Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD), a disease caused by the malfunction of motile cilia, manifests mainly with chronic recurrent respiratory infections. In men, PCD is also often associated with infertility due to immotile sperm.

RPGR Isoforms in Photoreceptor Connecting Cilia and the Transitional Zone of Motile Cilia
Investigative Opthalmology & Visual Science, 2003 The retinitis pigmentosa guanosine triphosphatase (GTPase) regulator (RPGR) is essential for photoreceptor survival. There is as yet no consensus concerning the subcellular localization of RPGR. This study was undertaken as a comprehensive effort to resolve current controversies.RPGR in mice and other mammalian species was examined by ...

Neuronal coordination of motile cilia in locomotion and feeding [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2019 Efficient ciliary locomotion and transport require the coordination of motile cilia. Short-range coordination of ciliary beats can occur by biophysical mechanisms. Long-range coordination across large or disjointed ciliated fields often requires nervous system control and innervation of ciliated cells by ciliomotor neurons.

Rapid Fabrication of Self‐Propelled and Steerable Magnetic Microcatheters for Precision Medicine
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.A rapid Joule heating fabrication method for the production of self‐propelling, adaptive microcatheters, with tunable stiffness and integrated microfluidic channels is presented. Demonstrated through three microrobotic designs, including a steerable guiding catheter, an untethered wave‐crawling TubeBot, and a distal‐end propelled microcatheter, it was ...

MI-181 enhances ciliation and cilia length in a cigarette smoke exposed airway epithelial model
Scientific ReportsMulticiliated airway epithelial cells possess motile cilia, which are essential for mucociliary clearance, facilitating the removal of particulates from the respiratory system.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.The sea cucumber Holothuria leucospilota detects blue and adjacent wavelengths of light via an r‐opsin with a maximum absorption at 459 nm. In the oral tentacles, papillae, and tube feet, distinct light‐sensing structures with specialized morphologies are formed, constituting a unique pentaradial and bilateral combined photoreception system.
