Researchers from ETH Zurich, the University of Bern and Bern University Hospital have developed a non-invasive cleaning technology: microscopic cilia on the stent surface are activated by ultrasound ...

The group chats are in shambles. If you look away from your phone for a beat, you return to 10 more ways your friends have thought of to get mad about The Trade. The All-Star break was no break ...

Mechanical engineers have developed a system of artificial cilia capable of monitoring mucus ... with an airway stent within an artificial trachea and sheep trachea. Sensing signals are ...

Mucosal membranes are made up of epithelial cells, mucus-secreting goblet cells, and hair-like projections called cilia that line the inside of ... onto the tracheal lining. The trachea also has a ...

The absence of effective ciliary function often resulted in complications akin to those observed in immotile cilia syndrome or cystic fibrosis, thereby emphasizing the respiratory system’s dependency ...

The trachea is also lined with tiny hair-like structures called cilia. These help push mucus that contains debris or pathogens out of the trachea. A person then either swallows or spits out the mucus.

The bronchi begin at the base of the trachea ... lining known as mucous membranes. Glands in the mucous membrane make a thick, slippery fluid known as mucus or phlegm. Mucosal tissue in the bronchi ...

Primary cilia, specifically those associated with chondrocytes in resting and proliferating zones of the growth plate, have been discovered to be dynamically ciliated during growth plate repair.

In contrast, multiciliated cells lining the trachea, oviduct, and brain ventricles generate many basal bodies that then nucleate many motile cilia per cell.

and the mucus is pushed by microscopic cilia in a steady flow toward larger and larger airways, and eventually into and up the trachea. This mucus drags with it various contaminants that are ...

Within this organizer, motile cilia, hair-like structures on the cell surfaces, beat rapidly to create a leftward directional flow of extracellular fluid, which is the first outward sign of a left ...
