The paper investigates how ciliary flows in Xenopus embryos protect against pathogens, showing robustness in pathogen clearance despite variations in MCC distribution.

This study introduces an experimental framework to assess mucus transport efficiency in human airways, revealing that hydration at the cilia-mucus interface, not bulk rheology, determines clearance.

This study introduces in vitro assays to quantify actin-binding protein (ABP) activity in actin turnover and identifies conditions that maximize turnover efficiency.

This study identifies Lrrcc1 and Ccdc61 as essential components of basal bodies in multiciliated cells, showing their role in ciliary function and fluid flow in Xenopus embryos.
