The research team at DGIST developed ciliary microrobots with high propulsion efficiency in highly-viscous fluid environments in the human body such as blood by mimicking the movement of paramecia’s ...

Researchers have figured out how to objectively quantify the beating action of cilia, the tiny, hair-like projections on cells that line nasal passages, the lungs and almost every other body tissue, ...

Our bodies look symmetrical, but most internal organs are asymmetric in shape or in position. In mouse embryos, a model animal that is closest to humans, cell groups, which are a source of organs, are ...

Heterotaxy arises from a failure of the embryo to establish normal left-right asymmetry and is known to affect 3% of infants with congenital heart disease. A recessive mutation causing heterotaxy was ...

Scientists have developed microrobots with high propulsion efficiency in highly-viscous fluid environments, applying propulsion techniques that mimic the ciliary stroke motion of paramecia. A Korean ...

(Nanowerk News) A research team at Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology (DGIST), South Korea, developed ciliary microrobots for chemical and cell delivery that can be precisely ...
