Cilia are important cell structures found on nearly all cells. In this issue of Developmental Cell, Mennella and colleagues investigate the molecular architecture of basal foot proteins in cells with primary or motile cilia and discover a hybrid cilium with a unique assembly that regulates polarity in multiciliated cells.

Biomagnetic fluid dynamics (BFD) is an emerging and promising field within fluid mechanics, focusing on the dynamics of bio-fluids like blood in the presence of magnetic fields. This research is crucial in the medical arena for applications such as medication delivery, diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, prevention of excessive bleeding, and treatment of malignant tumors using magnetic particles. This study delves into the intricacies of blood flow induced by cilia, carrying trihybrid nanoparticles (gold, copper, and titania), within a catheterized arterial annulus under a robust magnetic field.

The current investigation explores tri-hybrid mediated blood flow through a ciliary annular model, designed to emulate an endoscopic environment. The human circulatory system, driven by the metachronal ciliary waves, is examined in this study to understand how ternary nanoparticles influence wave-like flow dynamics in the presence of interfacial nanolayers. We also analyze the effect of an induced magnetic field on Ag-Cu-/blood flow within the annulus, focusing on thermal radiation, heat sources, buoyancy forces and ciliary motion.

Emerging evidence suggests a significant contribution of primary cilia to cell division and proliferation. MicroRNAs, especially miR-17, contribute to cell cycle regulation and proliferation. Recent investigations have highlighted the dysregulated expression of miR-17 in various malignancies, underlining its potential role in cancer.

Biomimetic artificial olfactory cilia have demonstrated potential in identifying specific volatile organic compounds linked to various diseases, including certain cancers, metabolic disorders, and respiratory conditions. These sensors may facilitate non-invasive disease diagnosis and monitoring. Cilia Motility is the coordinated movement of cilia, which are hair-like projections present on the surface of particular cells in different species.

Melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) neurons can co-express several neuropeptides or neurotransmitters and send widespread projections throughout the brain. Notably, there is a dense cluster of nerve terminals from MCH neurons in the lateral septum (LS) that innervate LS cells by glutamate release. The LS is also a key region integrating stress- and anxiety-like behaviours, which are also emerging roles of MCH neurons.
