Ciliary Pathlines
For tiny creatures, swimming through water requires techniques very different than ours. Many, like this sea urchin larva, use hair-like cilia that they beat to push fluid near their bodies. The flows generated this way are beautiful and complex. (Image credit: B. Shrestha et al.)

Behind the Wave
Computer model of a 'carpet' of beating cilia – the whisker-like structures on many body cell types that sense or waft – reveals the mechanism of their synchronisation. Watch the emergence of a metachronal wave (a Mexican wave is one of these)

"I…got lost. On our trip. Caught up looking at the local flora while you and the others kept going… They even told me they were moving on, but… Ha… What a stupid way for me to get separated…"
"Careless, maybe… But I can't say I fault you entirely for it. In fact, I'm surprised that the same didn't happen to me. You and I were both so curious…"
I am. somewhat weirdly hesitant about posting this here dkfjgf. but *spongebob voice* well. here you go.

Smelling Pixels: The Emergence of Scent as a Game Mechanic
My very first post as a blogger. Have you ever played a video game and wondered what the level smells like? Probably not, but if you have, then XR tech is here to demonstrate.

Equipped to Smell
Regulation by a transcription factor called Foxj1 underlies the molecular signals for development and differentiation of olfactory receptor neurons and their hair-like non-motile cilia vital for a vertebrate's sense of smell

Their shape is oval, and contracted in the middle by a ring of vibrating curved ciliæ.

New micro-sized artificial cilia system may power diagnostic devices in future
New micro-sized artificial cilia system may power diagnostic devices in future
Cilia are the body’s diligent ushers. These microscopic hairs, which move fluid by rhythmic beating, are responsible for pushing cerebrospinal fluid in your brain, clearing the phlegm and dirt from your lungs, and keeping other organs and tissues clean.
A technical marvel, cilia have proved difficult to reproduce in engineering applications, especially at the microscale.
Cornell researchers have…
