The neuroscience community has witnessed a tremendous expansion of glia research. Glial
cells are now on center stage with leading roles in the development, maturation, and …

We summarize recent work illuminating how cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) regulates brain
function. More than a protective fluid cushion and sink for waste, the CSF is an integral CNS …

By engaging angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2 or Ace2), the novel pathogenic
severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) invades host cells and …

Brillouin microscopy is an emerging optical elastography technique capable of assessing
mechanical properties of biological samples in a three-dimensional, all-optical and …

Cilia are microscopic hair-like external cell organelles that are ubiquitously present in
nature, also within the human body. They fulfill crucial biological functions: motile cilia …

The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a complex solution that circulates around the CNS, and
whose composition changes as a function of an animal's physiological state. Ciliated …

Mechanical forces are integral to development—from the earliest stages of embryogenesis
to the construction and differentiation of complex organs. Advances in imaging and …

Motile cilia defects impair cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow and can cause brain and spine
disorders. The development of ciliated cells, their impact on CSF flow, and their function in …

It has been more than three years since COVID-19 impacted the lives of millions of people,
many of whom suffer from long-term effects known as long-haulers. Notwithstanding …

Motile cilia are hair-like cell extensions that beat periodically to generate fluid flow along
various epithelial tissues within the body. In dense multiciliated carpets, cilia were shown to …
