Three-dimensional tracking of the ciliate Tetrahymena reveals the mechanism of ciliary stroke-driven helical swimming
Marumo and colleagues use three-dimensional tracking of fluorescent microbeads to visualize the helical swimming of the cilliate Tetrahymena. They reveal that the beating pattern of the cilia determines the swimming behavior.
