Abstract: Cilia or eukaryotic flagella are slender 200‐nm‐diameter organelles that move the immersing fluid relative to a cell and sense the environment. Their core structure is nine doublet microtubules (DMTs) arranged around a central‐pair. When motile,… read more here.

Abstract: In this paper, we present an analytical study of pressure-driven flow of micropolar non-Newtonian physiological fluids through a channel comprising two parallel oscillating walls. The cilia are arranged at equal intervals and protrude normally from… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rsif.2024.0221
Abstract: Cilia can beat collectively in the form of a metachronal wave, and we investigate how near-field hydrodynamic interactions between cilia can influence the collective response of the beating cilia. Based on the theoretical framework developed… read more here.
