Axonemal regulation by curvature explains sperm flagellar waveform modulation
Meurig T Gallagher, Jackson C Kirkman-Brown, David J Smith
Flagellar motility is critical to natural and many forms of assisted reproduction. Rhythmic beating and wave propagation by the flagellum propels sperm through fluid and enables mo…
Influences of transversely-isotropic rheology and translational diffusion on the stability of active suspensions
Craig R. Holloway, Gemma Cupples, David J. Smith +3
Suspensions of self-motile, elongated particles are a topic of significant current interest, exemplifying a form of `active matter'. Examples include self-propelling bacteria, alga…
Human sperm cells swimming in micro-channels
