Surfing on metachronal waves: ciliary transport by inertial coasting
Rafał Błaszkiewicz, Margot Young, Albane Théry +4
Motile cilia drive biological fluid transport through whip-like beating motions that synchronize into metachronal waves. The lengths of these cilia span three orders of magnitude,…

Self-construction and destruction of living transport networks
Chanoknun Sintavanuruk, Yoichiro Mori, Reza Farhadifar +1
Biological transport networks adapt through dynamic interactions between material transport and structural modification during growth and development. In this work, we present a mo…
