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.

The Touch Dome Defines an Epidermal Niche Specialized for Mechanosensory Signaling
Cell Reports, 2013 In mammalian skin, Merkel cells are mechanoreceptor cells that are required for the perception of gentle touch. Recent evidence indicates that mature Merkel cells descend from the proliferative layer of skin epidermis; however, the stem cell niche for ...

Morphological Changes in Endothelial Cell Organelles in a No-Touch Saphenous Vein Graft [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery, 2022 Introduction: Improved long-term patency of the no-touch (NT) saphenous vein graft has been reported to result from the preservation of a healthy vascular microstructure, especially endothelial cells.

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-

Improving T Cell Expansion with a Soft Touch [PDF]
Nano Letters, 2017 Protein-coated microbeads provide a consistent approach for activating and expanding populations of T cells for immunotherapy but do not fully capture the properties of antigen presenting cells. In this report, we enhance T cell expansion by replacing the conventional, rigid bead with a mechanically soft elastomer.

Merkel Cells Are Essential for Light-Touch Responses [PDF]
Science, 2009 Mysterious Merkel cells Anatomists have known about the existence of Merkel cells in our skin for over a century. However, the function of these cells has been unclear and controversial. To solve this mystery, Maricich et al.

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 ...

How T Cells Lose Their Touch [PDF]
Immunity, 2014 T cells are among the most sensitive of cells, but in this issue of Immunity, Honda et al. (2014) demonstrate that effector T cells must lose their touch within hours to protect the host from immunopathology.
