T Cells Have a Light Touch [PDF]

open access: yesBiophysical Journal, 2015
There is great interest in the force generated by chemotacting T cells because force is proposed to be a key ingredient in the triggering of the T cell antigen receptor (TCR) and forming of a functional immunological synapse. This has been a challenging problem because methods typically used to measure forces with stromal cells cannot be applied to ...

The Magic Touch [PDF]

open access: yesCirculation Research, 2014
Merfeld-Clauss et al1 describe an activin A–mediated, transforming growth factor (TGF)-β–independent pathway that regulates endothelial-induced mural cell differentiation from mesenchymal progenitors derived from adult human adipose tissue. These studies provide insights that should prove beneficial for the efficient generation of autologous smooth ...

Microbial contamination data of keypad and touch screen of cell phones among hospital and non-hospital staffs – A case study: Iran

open access: yesData in Brief, 2018
Microorganisms live almost everywhere, they are even present on inanimate objects such as Mobile phones, as a result contaminates our body. The main purpose of this study was tantamount to compare microbial contamination of keypad and touch screen mobile

Progressive neurodegeneration in C. elegans model of tauopathy

open access: yesNeurobiology 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.

Induction of chronic migraine phenotypes in a rat model after environmental irritant exposure [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Air pollution is linked to increased emergency department visits for headache and migraine patients frequently cite chemicals or odors as headache triggers, but the association between air pollutants and headache is not well understood.

Optical characterization of epidermal cells and their relationship to DNA recovery from touch samples [version 1; referees: 2 approved]

open access: yesF1000Research, 2015
The goal of this study was to investigate the relative contributions of different cellular and genetic components to biological samples created by touch or contact with a surface – one of the most challenging forms of forensic evidence.

The cellular and synaptic architecture of the mechanosensory dorsal horn [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The deep dorsal horn is a poorly characterized spinal cord region implicated in processing low-threshold mechanoreceptor (LTMR) information. We report an array of mouse genetic tools for defining neuronal components and functions of the dorsal horn LTMR ...

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]

open access: yesJournal 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

Conditional knock out of transcription factor CTCF in excitatory neurons induces cognitive deficiency

open access: yesMolecular Brain, 2021
CCCTC-binding factor (CTCF) is a transcription factor that is involved in organizing chromatin structure. A reduction of CTCF expression is known to develop distinct clinical features.

Horizontal transfer of antibiotic resistance genes on abiotic touch surfaces: implications for public health

open access: yes, 2012
Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is largely responsible for increasing incidence of antibiotic-resistant infections worldwide. Whilst studies have focussed on HGT in vivo, this work investigates whether the ability of pathogens to persist in the ...
