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.

Mimicking the sensing ability of biological cilia, Dong and his team developed ... conjunction with an airway stent within an artificial trachea and sheep trachea. Sensing signals are transferred ...

The cilia extend down as far as the respiratory ... in a given time, in the trachea is many times greater than that in a similar unit area in the smaller bronchi. Since there are mucus-producing ...

A team of scientists created them using human cells from the trachea. Part of the reason why they used those cells is because they are covered with cilia, or tiny, hair-like projections.

They’re called anthrobots. A team of scientists created them using human cells from the trachea. Part of the reason why they used those cells is because they are covered with cilia, or tiny, hair-like ...
