Individual differences in perceived pinch force and bite force [PDF]

Perception & Psychophysics, 1993
Six subjects made cross-modal matches of pinch force and bite force to an electrocutaneous stimulus. The electrocutaneous stimulus consisted of bursts of pulses, and the intensity of the stimulus was varied by changing the number of pulses per burst. All of the individual matching functions were fit well by power functions.

From energy provision to protein synthesis: Tunnelling nanotubes as mediators of intercellular metabolic cooperation in cancer

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The cytoskeleton‐mediated transport of mitochondria via tunnelling nanotubes restores respiration, increases ATP production, rescues cells from apoptosis, activates the AKT/mTOR signalling pathway, promotes cell migration and invasiveness, contributes to cancer progression and treatment resistance.

Bite force and its relationship to jaw shape in domestic dogs

Journal of Experimental Biology, 2020
Previous studies based on two-dimensional methods have suggested that the great morphological variability of cranial shape in domestic dogs has impacted bite performance.

Pathways and pitfalls: a qualitative study of student experiences in biomedical science education

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Biomedical science students from underrepresented backgrounds face barriers including financial strain, disrupted laboratory access and cultural exclusion. Peer networks provide vital support when institutional systems are difficult to navigate. To create inclusive learning environments and achieve academic success, educators should blend active, hands‐

Bite force production and the origin of <i>Homo</i>. [PDF]

R Soc Open Sci
The divergence of Homo from gracile australopiths has been described as a trend of decreasing dentognathic size and robusticity, precipitated by stone tool use and/or a shift to softer foods, including meat.

From patient advocacy to patient‐driven research: Building active partnerships beginning at the bench to reach the bedside

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Research is strongest when conducted alongside patients, not just about them. Patient research organizations help integrate patient perspectives into research priorities, study design, and scientific meetings, leading to meaningful patient outcomes and development of relevant therapies.

A method of bite force measurement in primates [PDF]

Journal of Biomechanics, 1983
A bite force transducer consisting of two differential strain beams with four strain gages in a full bridge configuration was modified for measuring occlusal forces in rhesus monkeys. A procedure of muscle stimulation (20-50 V, 60 Hz, and 0.8 ms duration) produced maximal unilateral masticatory muscle contraction when stimulating electrodes were placed
