Improving the functionality of a prosthetic hand through the use of thick film force sensors

open access: yes, 2003
A prosthetic hand has been instrumented with a range of sensors to measure grip force with the primary objectives of detecting touch and the onset of slippage of an item grasped by the hand.

open access: yes工程科学与技术, 2016
:Because of the nonlinearity of the elastic sensitive element and the signal noise ratio,the precision of the traditional force sensor can hardly be higher than 0.02%.A force sensor with electromagnetic force balance lever structure was introduced.The ...

Metastatic niche shaped by host factors influences disseminated cancer cell fate

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Metastasis is shaped not only by cancer cells but also by the environments they encounter. This review explores how factors such as aging, diet, the microbiome, lifestyle, and environmental exposures remodel organ‐specific niches in the lung, liver, bone, and brain, influencing where metastatic cells survive, remain dormant, or grow, and ultimately ...

Invisible but not inaccessible—Revealing transient oligomers formed by intrinsically disordered proteins with solution NMR and complementary methods

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Transient oligomers formed by intrinsically disordered proteins may be ‘invisible’ to direct detection yet remain accessible to solution NMR through equilibrium‐exchange measurements and pressure‐jump experiments. Complementary methods report on mass, stoichiometry, selected distance distributions, morphology, and internal packing.

Soft motions encoded by the fold and mediated by conserved hinge sites drive V‐ATPase allosteric machinery and autoinhibition

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Vacuolar H+‐ATPase (V‐ATPase) is a multisubunit rotary proton pump that acidifies intracellular compartments. Using elastic network models, we identified conserved hinge residues that govern its large‐scale functional motions. We show that intrinsically encoded ‘soft modes’ drive critical functional transitions, including rotary catalysis and ...

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

Impedance control of a robot needle with a fiber optic force sensor

open access: yes, 2016
In this paper, an impedance control is proposed for a robotic needle with a fiber optic force sensor. The fiber optic force sensor is placed at the tip of the needle to directly measure the interaction force between needle and soft tissue, overcoming the
