To aid in assessing the impact of chemicals and drugs on cilia function in the small airway epithelium, the lung cilia beat frequency analysis in vitro assay is the ideal option. Using the ...

Ciliary beat frequency in neonates with mild bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) significantly differed vs. moderate or severe BPD. Cilia bended angle and amplitude significantly differed between the ...

This calcium boost was followed by increased rates of ciliary beating. The taste-sensing abilities of motile cilia could also lead to bitter compound-mimicking drugs that could target motile cilia to ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 119, No. 4 (January 25, 2022), pp. 1-9 (9 pages) Motile cilia are slender, hair-like cellular appendages that ...

The coordinated beating pattern of cilia is driven by non-reciprocal interactions and the border regions, as described in a new model. What do the crowd at a football stadium, the feet of a centipede, ...

Researchers have developed a new optical coherence tomography (OCT) approach that can directly image coordination of tiny hair-like structures known as motile cilia in their natural environment. The ...

Scientists developed a new OCT imaging approach that can directly image the coordination of motile cilia in their natural environment. Research team members Deirdre Scully and Tian Xia are pictured ...

Scientists present a new understanding of the connection between two distinct mechanisms for pumping fluids in living organisms: the 'flame' model and the 'carpet' model of ciliated ducts. The new ...
