This study shows how bacteria use flagellar wrapping to move through narrow passages, with hook flexibility being essential for this movement.

The paper investigates the mechanical pumping efficiency of sponge choanocyte chambers by combining imaging and computational models, finding that their spherical shape and outlet angle optimize flow.

The paper shows that immotile cilia in mouse node cells detect mechanical forces from leftward fluid flow, leading to asymmetric molecular responses that break left-right symmetry.
