The Cilialyzer - a freely available open-source software for a standardised identification of impaired mucociliary activity facilitating the diagnostic testing for PCD

The paper introduces Cilialyzer, an open-source software for analyzing mucociliary activity in PCD diagnostics, providing quantitative metrics like ciliary beating frequency and transport speed.

Spatial intra- and intercellular alignment of respiratory cilia and its relation to function

The paper analyzes ciliary orientation in tracheal cells using electron microscopy, revealing that basal body orientation aligns with the tracheal axis while axonemal orientation dictates mucociliary transport direction.
