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.

Epidermal Merkel cells are mechanosensory cells that tune mammalian touch receptors [PDF]
Nature, 2014 Touch submodalities, such as flutter and pressure, are mediated by somatosensory afferents whose terminal specializations extract tactile features and encode them as action potential trains with unique activity patterns. Whether non-neuronal cells tune touch receptors through active or passive mechanisms is debated. Terminal specializations are thought

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Chemoresistance in bladder cancer: Macrophage recruitment associated with CXCL1, CXCL5 and CXCL8 expression is characteristic of Gemcitabine/Cisplatin (Gem/Cis) Non‐Responder tumors (right side) while Responder tumors did not show substantial tumor‐stromal crosstalk (left side). All biological icons are attributed to Bioicons: carcinoma, cancerous‐cell‐

F1000Research, 2014 The second touch hypothesis states that T cell activation, proliferation, induction of homing receptors and polarization are distinguishable and, at least in part, sequential. The second touch hypothesis maintains that full T cell polarization requires T

Dermal appendage-dependent patterning of zebrafish atoh1a+ Merkel cells
eLife, 2023 Touch system function requires precise interactions between specialized skin cells and somatosensory axons, as exemplified by the vertebrate mechanosensory Merkel cell-neurite complex.

Co-option of epidermal cells enables touch sensing
Nature Cell Biology, 2023 AbstractThe epidermis is equipped with specialized mechanosensory organs that enable the detection of tactile stimuli. Here, by examining the differentiation of the tactile bristles, mechanosensory organs decorating the Drosophila adult epidermis, we show that neighbouring epidermal cells are essential for touch perception.

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Unique biological samples, such as site‐specific mutant proteins, are available only in limited quantities. Here, we present a polarization‐resolved transient infrared spectroscopy setup with referencing to improve signal‐to‐noise tailored towards tracing small signals. We provide an overview of characterizing the excitation conditions for polarization‐

Analysis of cutaneous MRGPRD free nerve endings and C-LTMRs transcriptomes by RNA-sequencing
Genomics Data, 2015 The skin is the largest sensory organ that is densely innervated by highly specialized sensory neurons allowing the detection of a wide range of stimulations including light touch, temperature, itch and pain.

Electrorotation of a pair of spherical particles
, 2001 We present a theoretical study of electrorotation (ER) of two spherical particles under the action of a rotating electric field. When the two particles approach and finally touch, the mutual polarization interaction between the particles leads to a ...
