The use of biophysical approaches to understand ciliary beating
Cilia beating is a biological phenomenon conserved from unicellular to multicellular eukaryotes, including cells of plants and vertebrates. In motile cilia, dynein molecular motors hydrolyse …
Visualization and Detection of Ciliary Beating Pattern and …
2017年8月17日 · We demonstrate the development of a high-speed Doppler optical coherence tomography system that not only can rapidly determine the cilia beat frequency, but also …
The many modes of flagellar and ciliary beating: Insights from a ...
In reality, most cilia and flagella have a well‐defined bending plane and many exhibit an almost perfectly flat (planar) beating pattern. In this analysis we examine the physics that governs …
Ciliary beating patterns map onto a low-dimensional ... - Nature
2022年1月10日 · The beating of motile cilia arises from the collective action of hundreds of proteins. A study of the dynamics of cilia under different environmental and genetic conditions …
Flagellar and ciliary beating: the proven and the possible
2010年2月15日 · Flagella and cilia are functional in diverse cell types: the beating of cilia in the bronchi of the lungs keeps airways clear of mucus and debris; the flagellum of a sperm cell …
