Abstract
An apparatus for use in promoting motility of flagellar cells includes an acoustic energy emission module configured to generate ultrasound energy, the module being configured to generate ultrasound waves within a frequency range of about 2 MHz and about 120 MHz, and an applicator module configured to direct the generated ultrasound waves to a locus of the cells for a duration of between about 5 seconds and about 35 seconds.
