PickCells: A Physically Reconfigurable Cell-composed Touchscreen [PDF]
, 2019 Touchscreens are the predominant medium for interactions with digital services; however, their current fixed form factor narrows the scope for rich physical interactions by limiting interaction possibilities to a single, planar surface.

Higher Network Activity Induced by Tactile Compared to Electrical Stimulation of Leech Mechanoreceptors [PDF]
, 2018 The tiny ensemble of neurons in the leech ganglion can discriminate the locations of touch stimuli on the skin as precisely as a human fingertip. The leech uses this ability to locally bend the body-wall away from the stimulus. It is assumed that a three-

The Doublesex/Mab-3 domain transcription factor DMD-10 regulates ASH-dependent behavioral responses [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 The Doublesex/Mab-3 Domain transcription factor DMD-10 is expressed in several cell types in C. elegans, including in the nervous system. We sought to investigate whether DMD-10 is required for normal neuronal function using behavioral assays.

Encoding of Tactile Stimuli by Mechanoreceptors and Interneurons of the Medicinal Leech [PDF]
, 2016 For many animals processing of tactile information is a crucial task in behavioral contexts like exploration, foraging, and stimulus avoidance. The leech, having infrequent access to food, developed an energy efficient reaction to tactile stimuli ...

Progressive neurodegeneration in C. elegans model of tauopathy
Neurobiology of Disease, 2005 Discovery of various mutations in the tau gene among frontotemporal dementia and parkinsonism linked to chromosome 17 (FTDP-17) families suggests gain-of-toxic function of wild-type or mutant tau as the mechanism for extensive neuronal loss.

Highly efficient optogenetic cell ablation in C. elegans using membrane-targeted miniSOG. [PDF]
, 2016 The genetically encoded photosensitizer miniSOG (mini Singlet Oxygen Generator) can be used to kill cells in C. elegans. miniSOG generates the reactive oxygen species (ROS) singlet oxygen after illumination with blue light.

The current distribution in an electrochemical cell. Part V. The determination of the depth of the current line penetration between the edges of the electrodes and the side walls of the cell [PDF]
Journal of the Serbian Chemical Society, 1999 A method for the calculation of the depth of the current line penetration between the edges of the electrodes and the side walls of the cell in a cell with plane parallel electrode arrangement is proposed. The method is verified by the calculation of the
