Ciliary behaviour and mechano-transduction in the embryonic node: computational testing of hypotheses.
Left-right symmetry breaking in the mammalian embryo is believed to occur in a transient embryonic structure, the node: rotational motion of cilia within this structure creates a leftward flow of liquid that is the first asymmetric event observed. A hypothesis, often referred to as the "two-cil...
