The gel retains all of the properties of HA but enhances its viscoelastic properties and acts as a tissue lubricator, which aids gliding [8].
Such astonishing distances are much longer than the great circle (orthodromic) routes connecting the migration endpoints, and follow global wind patterns, suggesting that birds optimize the use of winds for gliding [1], [13] [17].
These results contrast with previous reports where 4-BPB was seen to have no effect on gliding [19].
Surgery usually provides the patient with the best chance of recovery but is only partially successful because of the interactive problems of adhesions leading to impaired movement through inhibition of normal tendon gliding [5].
In our assay, we hypothesise that EGCG binds to adhesion molecules on the parasite surface, e.g. TRAP or CSP that are important for motility and thus impair gliding [28], [29].
Three additional examples for kymographs of gliding IFT27-GFP cells.

To quantitatively characterize this difference in the motility pattern, sporozoites gliding 10 min after intradermal inoculation were tracked and the MSD was plotted over time.
However, males did not significantly differ in the proportion of foraging trip spent gliding (F2,16=0.01, F1,16=1.69; Fig. 1E) or resting (F2,16=3.35, F1,16=0.10; Fig. 1A) between years, in either stage (P>0.05 all cases).
We found that purified rat brain dynein also produced MT-MT sliding using this same assay, although the movement was slower than surface gliding (10 ± 5 nm/s vs 615 ± 200 nm/s) and characterized by more frequent pausing than MT gliding by surface-bound brain dynein.
Life habits were organized into six states and a character matrix was constructed using standard categorical data (0, unknown behavior; 1, cementing; 2, byssal attaching; 3, free-living; 4, recessing; 5, gliding; and 6, nestling).
