Sometimes it makes too much, and the cilia on the airways can’t push ... Researchers can then add bacteria and observe how they move through the mucus and how mucins interact with them.

Researchers from Vanderbilt University have developed a system of artificial cilia that can reportedly monitor mucus ...

Unlike the wavy, hairlike cilia you may remember from biology class—the ones that sweep mucus out of the airways—the primary ... Starting in green algae and only lately moving up to humans, they made ...

The waving of the cilia acts like a conveyor belt to move mucus out of the lung to be cleared in your throat, and the cilia hairs need to stay hydrated for smooth conveyor belt operation. Mucus traps ...

Researchers have developed an artificial cilia capable of monitoring mucus conditions in human airways to better detect infection, airway obstruction, or the severity of diseases like cystic fibrosis.

coli bacteria utilize a corkscrew-like motion, cilia move in synchronized waves ... used for drug transportation through ...

A system of artificial cilia capable of monitoring mucus conditions in human airways to better detect infection, airway obstruction, or the severity of diseases like Cystic Fibrosis (CF), Chronic ...

Xiaoguang Dong, assistant professor of mechanical engineering, is leading a team of researchers that has developed a system of artificial cilia capable of monitoring mucus conditions in human ...

Mimicking the sensing ability of biological cilia, Dong and his team developed novel technology for detecting mucus conditions, including viscosity and layer thickness, which are crucial ...
