Motile Cilia go with the flow

hien, Ph.D., both in the Department of Bioengineering and the Whitaker Institute of Biomedical Engineering at the University of California, San Diego, they subjected ciliated cells to an external flow using a flow chamber.

Remarkably, these experiments showed that flow causes cilia to get in line and agree on a common direction."As long as there is some polarity in the system, cilia can apparently use flow to self-correct over time, making it a very robust system," explains Mitchell.
