Methods and measures for investigating microscale motility
Karen Grace Bondoc-Naumovitz, Hannah Laeverenz-Schlogelhofer, Rebecca N. Poon +4
Motility is an essential factor for an organism's survival and diversification. With the advent of novel single-cell technologies, analytical frameworks and theoretical methods, we…
Intracellular coupling modulates biflagellar synchrony
Hanliang Guo, Yi Man, Kirsty Y. Wan +1
Beating flagella exhibit a variety of synchronization modes. This synchrony has long been attributed to hydrodynamic coupling between the flagella. However, recent work with flagel…
Origins of eukaryotic excitability
Kirsty Y. Wan, Gáspár Jékely
All living cells interact dynamically with a constantly changing world. Eukaryotes in particular, evolved radically new ways to sense and react to their environment. These advances…
Synchrony and symmetry-breaking in active flagellar coordination
Kirsty Y. Wan
Living creatures exhibit a remarkable diversity of locomotion mechanisms, evolving structures specialised for interacting with their environment. In the vast majority of cases, loc…
Run stop shock, run shock run: Spontaneous and stimulated gait-switching in a unicellular octoflagellate
Kirsty Y. Wan, Raymond E. Goldstein
In unicellular flagellates, growing evidence suggests control over a complex repertoire of swimming gaits is conferred intracellularly by ultrastructural components, resulting in m…
Coordinated Beating of Algal Flagella is Mediated by Basal Coupling
Kirsty Y. Wan, Raymond E. Goldstein
Cilia and flagella often exhibit synchronized behavior; this includes phase locking, as seen in {\it Chlamydomonas}, and metachronal wave formation in the respiratory cilia of high…
Rhythmicity, Recurrence, and Recovery of Flagellar Beating
Kirsty Y. Wan, Raymond E. Goldstein
The eukaryotic flagellum beats with apparently unfailing periodicity, yet responds rapidly to stimuli. Like the human heartbeat, flagellar oscillations are now known to be noisy. U…
Flagellar Synchronization Through Direct Hydrodynamic Interactions
Douglas R. Brumley, Kirsty Y. Wan, Marco Polin +1
Microscale fluid flows generated by ensembles of beating eukaryotic flagella are crucial to fundamental processes such as development, motility and sensing. Despite significant exp…
Lag, lock, sync, slip: the many "phases" of coupled flagella
Kirsty Y. Wan, Kyriacos C. Leptos, Raymond E. Goldstein
In a multitude of life's processes, cilia and flagella are found indispensable. Recently, the biflagellated chlorophyte alga Chlamydomonas has become a model organism for the study…
Antiphase Synchronization in a Flagellar-Dominance Mutant of Chlamydomonas
Kyriacos C. Leptos, Kirsty Y. Wan, Marco Polin +3
Groups of beating flagella or cilia often synchronize so that neighboring filaments have identical frequencies and phases. A prime example is provided by the unicellular biflagella…
