Azusa Kage

This study shows that Chattonella marina adjusts its flagellar length and beat frequency during day and night, affecting swimming speed, likely as an energy-saving strategy linked to diurnal vertical migration.

This study identifies a tyrosination-dependent mechanism that enables dynein-2 to specifically bind the A-tubule of ciliary doublet microtubules, facilitating retrograde IFT.

This study quantifies the motility differences between sperm packets and asexual colonies of Pleodorina starrii, revealing distinct flagellar waveform patterns and motility characteristics.
