Mechanical engineers have developed a system of artificial cilia capable of monitoring mucus conditions in human airways to better detect infection, airway obstruction, or the severity of diseases ...

New findings from a team of investigators at Johns Hopkins Medicine have ruled out a mechanism that scientists have long believed controls the number of hairlike structures, called cilia, protruding ...

Across all species, directed movement is essential for nutrient acquisition, energy harvesting, and the avoidance of danger or sources of stress. Organisms have evolved specific means of locomotion ...
