Optical Activation of TrkA Signaling [PDF]

open access: yesACS Synthetic Biology, 2018
Abstract Nerve growth factor/tropomyosin receptor kinase A (NGF/TrkA) signaling plays a key role in neuronal development, function, survival, and growth. The pathway is implicated in neurodegenerative disorders including Alzheimer’s disease, chronic pain, inflammation, and cancer. NGF binds the extracellular domain of

In-Situ Metrology of Large Segmented Detector Based on Modified Optical Truss

open access: yesIEEE Photonics Journal, 2023
To precisely map cosmic structures and capture time-domain events, future large survey telescopes will be equipped with segmented detectors that greatly expand their field of view. Segment flatness and assembly accuracy will be essential for them to make

Active optics with silk

open access: yesFrontiers in Optics and Photonics, 2020
Optical devices have been traditionally fabricated using materials whose chemical and physical properties are finely tuned to perform a specific, single, and often static function, whereby devices’ variability is achieved by design changes.

Active Optics—Advances of Cycloid-like Variable Curvature Mirrors for the VLTI Array

open access: yesPhotonics, 2022
Elasticity theory and active optics led us to the discovery of three geometrical configurations of variable curvature mirrors (VCMs) that are either cycloid-like or tulip-like thickness distributions. Cycloid-like VCMs are generated by a uniform load—air

Extending Capture Range for Piston Error in Segmented Primary Mirror Telescopes Based on Wavelet Support Vector Machine With Improved Particle Swarm Optimization

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2020
In the co-phasing techniques applied to the segmented telescope, a Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor cannot accurately detect the piston error of the segment. Although the phase diversity (PD) algorithm can detect the piston error of each segment, it fails
