Active Whisker‐Inspired Food Material Surface Property Measurement Using Deep‐Learned Mechanosensor

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Herein, a new application is proposed for an active whisker sensor that mimics the movement of rat whiskers. The whiskers, which are deformed by contact with an object, provide information about surface properties. It is shown that active whisker sensors can be useful in the food industry, and data identification is performed using deep learning ...

Compound Heterozygous Variants in ZSWIM7 Gene Linked to Infertility and Its Role in Gonadal Development

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study aims to elucidate the role of the ZSWIM7 gene in the etiology of infertility, focusing on its potential association with premature ovarian insufficiency and azoospermia. We investigated an 18‐year‐old female patient who presented with primary amenorrhea, hypoplasia of the uterus and ovaries, Tanner stage II breast and pubic hair ...

Disruption of Vitamin D and Calcium Signaling in Keratinocytes Predisposes to Skin Cancer. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25(OH)2D), the active metabolite of vitamin D, and calcium regulate epidermal differentiation. 1,25(OH)2D exerts its effects through the vitamin D receptor (VDR), a transcription factor in the nuclear hormone receptor family ...

Genotype–Phenotype Correlations, Mortality, and Clinical Insights in Keratitis–Ichthyosis–Deafness Syndrome: A Comprehensive Review and Case Report

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Keratosis–ichthyosis–deafness (KID) syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant ectodermal disease caused by mutations in the GJB2 gene, which encodes the gap junction protein Connexin 26 (Cx26) located on Chr. 13q12.11. This study presents the first mortality analysis associated with KID syndrome, focusing on a case report of a Latin American ...
