Cilia are filamentous, hair-like structures that can be found on nearly all cells of the human body. Depending on the tissue, they fulfill a plethora of essential tasks, such as the transport of ...

As an illustration, the trachea is approximately 50 mm. in circumference, and this is the width of the stream bed in which the mucous blanket flows. Each of the main bronchi is 35 to 40 mm. in ...

Future treatment of serious health conditions may soon involve tiny living robots that are created from human cells.

These cilia beat, but this beat is not random, it is a coordinated wave-like rhythmic beat, from the bottom of the trachea to the top, known as the mucociliary escalator. This mucociliary ...

A system of artificial cilia capable of monitoring mucus conditions in human airways to better detect infection, airway obstruction, or the severity of diseases like Cystic Fibrosis (CF), Chronic ...

(CNN) - Future treatment of serious health conditions may soon involve tiny living robots that are created from human cells. They’re called anthrobots. A team of scientists created them using human ...

A team of scientists created them using human cells from the trachea. Part of the reason why they used those cells is because they are covered with cilia, or tiny, hair-like projections.
