Manipulation and navigation of micro and nanoswimmers in different fluid environments can
be achieved by chemicals, external fields, or even motile cells. Many researchers have …

Locomotion and transport of microorganisms in fluids is an essential aspect of life. Search
for food, orientation toward light, spreading of off-spring, and the formation of colonies are …

Activity and autonomous motion are fundamental in living and engineering systems. This
has stimulated the new field of'active matter'in recent years, which focuses on the physical …

Fluid dynamics plays a crucial role in many cellular processes, including the locomotion of
cells such as bacteria and spermatozoa. These organisms possess flagella, slender …

Cilia and flagella are fundamental units of motion in cellular biology. These beating, hair-like
organelles share a common basic structure but maintain widely varying functions in systems …

Infertility is a growing global health issue with far-reaching socioeconomic implications. A
downward trend in male fertility highlights the acute need for affordable and accessible …

Cilia are microtubule-based projections that serve a wide variety of essential functions in
animal cells. Defects in cilia structure or function have recently been found to underlie …

Microswimmers exhibit an intriguing, highly-dynamic collective motion with large-scale
swirling and streaming patterns, denoted as active turbulence–reminiscent of classical high …

In the past decade, the volvocine green algae, spanning from the unicellular
Chlamydomonas to multicellular Volvox, have emerged as model organisms for a number of …

The fluid dynamics of microswimmers has received attention from the fields of microbiology,
microrobotics, and active matter. Microorganisms have evolved organelles termed cilia for …
