Metachronal motion: A coordinated wave-like movement seen in cilia, where adjacent cilia beat in a synchronized manner to create effective fluid flow. Lab-on-a-chip: A miniaturized device that ...

the lung cilia beat frequency analysis in vitro assay is the ideal option. Using the physiologically relevant lung small airway epithelial cell (SAEC) model in air-liquid interface (ALI ...

Cilia and centrosomes ... A Motility in the Eukaryotic Flagellum Unrelated to Flagellar Beating. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences 90, 5519–5523 (1993). Luck, D.

A paramecium moves by the beating of its cilia; an amoeba, by the streaming of its cytoplasm; a muscle, by its over-all contraction. All these processes appear to share an underlying molecular unity ...

View Full Profile. Learn about our Editorial Policies. Inside the human airway, a certain cell type reigns supreme: multiciliated cells, decorated with dozens of hair-like cilia all beating in tandem.

To serve their physiological functions, cilia must beat synchronously. While many past studies have set out to explore ciliary synchronization, its biological and mechanical underpinnings are not ...

During this process, nasal cilia beat in a coordinated fashion to transport foreign entities captured in mucus away from the nose. A further barrier to nasal delivery is the existence of tight ...

Motile cilia are composed of stable populations of microtubules called doublet microtubules. There is a large subset of proteins that localize on the inside of these microtubules that we hypothesize ...
