The mucociliary clearance is a physico-chemical process whose aim is to transport and eliminate bronchial mucus. To achieve this, billions of microsized appendices, called cilia, cover the respiratory tracts. The cilia propel the mucus by following a periodical pattern, which includes a stroke phase where the cilia tip can enter the mucus layer, and a recovery phase where the cilia are completely immersed in the periciliary liquid. A dysfunction of this process can cause several respiratory diseases. It has been observed that cilia do not beat randomly, but instead synchronize their beatings accordingly to their neighbours, which results in the so-called metachronal waves. However, since experimental observations are extremely difficult to ...
