This study identifies the olfactory organ in bobtail squid as a site for detecting and retaining symbiotic bacteria through cilia-driven vortices, distinct from the light organ.

This paper introduces a high-throughput mucus microrheology platform using Differential Dynamic Microscopy to quantify mucus properties across various conditions and applications.

The paper develops a method to image and analyze cilia-driven transport in mammalian tissues using light-field microscopy and flow reconstruction, revealing conserved flow structures across different tissues.

The paper compares mucociliary clearance in human and rat airways, finding species-specific structural differences that affect clearance effectiveness and identifying limitations of lab-grown cultures.
