Symmetry breaking cilia-driven flow in the zebrafish embryo
Andrew A. Smith, Thomas D. Johnson, David J. Smith +1
Fluid mechanics plays a vital role in early vertebrate embryo development, an example being the establishment of left-right asymmetry. Following the dorsal-ventral and anterior-pos…
Modelling the Fluid Mechanics of Cilia and Flagella in Reproduction and Development
Thomas D. Montenegro-Johnson, Andrew A. Smith, David J. Smith +2
Cilia and flagella are actively bending slender organelles, performing functions such as motility, feeding and embryonic symmetry breaking. We review the mechanics of viscous-domin…
Physics of Rheologically-Enhanced Propulsion: Different Strokes in Generalized Stokes
Thomas D. Montenegro-Johnson, Daniel Loghin, David J. Smith
Shear-thinning is an important rheological property of many biological fluids, such as mucus, whereby the apparent viscosity of the fluid decreases with shear. Certain microscopic…
