How is sensing carried out by cilia in the mouse node, zebrafish Kupffer's vesicle and similar
left–right (LR) organizer organs in other species? Two possibilities have been put forward. In …

Cilia are specialized cellular organelles that are united in structure and implicated in diverse
key life processes across eukaryotes. In both unicellular and multicellular organisms …

Flagellar motility is critical to natural and many forms of assisted reproduction. Rhythmic
beating and wave propagation by the flagellum propels sperm through fluid and enables …

The method of regularized stokeslets is widely used in microscale biological fluid dynamics
due to its ease of implementation, natural treatment of complex moving geometries, and …

The method of regularised stokeslets is widely used to model microscale biological
propulsion. The method is usually implemented with only the single-layer potential, the …

Stokes flow, discussed by GG Stokes in 1851, describes many microscopic biological flow
phenomena, including cilia-driven transport and flagellar motility; the need to quantify and …

“Active matter” 1 refers to any system with a large number of individual agents, each of which
is capable of self-propulsion. Examples of active matter are the movement of a crowd …

Countless microorganisms use slender elastic filaments to affect and traverse their
surroundings. From the metachronal synchronisation of tracheal cilia to transport mu-cus, to …

The main characters of this story are the cilia. Even though they are one of the oldest known
cell organelles, it took over three hundred years to be recognized as fundamental in …

Vznik levo-pravé tělní asymetrie, která při gastrulaci určuje orientaci tělních orgánů, je v
myším embryu indukován v mnohobuněčném útvaru na anteriorním konci primitivního pruhu …
