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.

Signaling the differences between cilia
eLife, 2015 Calcium ion channels that determine many of the properties of cilia are different in motile cilia as compared to primary cilia and flagella.

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.

Combined exome and whole-genome sequencing identifies mutations in ARMC4 as a cause of primary ciliary dyskinesia with defects in the outer dynein arm [PDF]
, 2013 Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a rare, genetically heterogeneous ciliopathy disorder affecting cilia and sperm motility. A range of ultrastructural defects of the axoneme underlie the disease, which is characterised by chronic respiratory symptoms ...
