Mechanoreceptor profile of the lateral collateral ligament complex in the human elbow
Asia-Pacific Journal of Sports Medicine, Arthroscopy, Rehabilitation and Technology, 2018 Background: Active restraint for the elbow joint is provided by the soft tissue component, which consists of a musculoligamentous complex. A lesion of the lateral collateral ligament complex (LCLC) is thought to be the primary cause of posterolateral ...

Integration of vibrotactile frequency information beyond the mechanoreceptor channel and somatotopy
Scientific Reports, 2017 A wide variety of tactile sensations arise from the activation of several types of mechanoreceptor-afferent channels scattered all over the body, and their projections create a somatotopic map in the somatosensory cortex.

A Bioinspired, Multimodal Soft Tactile Skin with Task-Adaptive Perception for Intelligent Robotic Manipulation. [PDF]
Adv Sci (Weinh)Perception in robotic manipulation improves through the cooperative and complementary operation of biologically inspired multimodal tactile sensors. Receptor‐specific contribution analysis identifies which sensing modalities are required for specific tactile tasks.

Weight Illusion Caused by Sinusoidal Vibration Correlates with Grip Force Adjustment
Applied Sciences, 2023 Our research team previously identified a weight illusion in which a lifted object feels heavy when it continuously presents a sinusoidal vibration to the fingertips. However, the mechanism underlying this illusion remains unknown.

Isolation of human pluripotent stem cell-derived sensory neuron subtypes by immunopanning
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023 Sensory neurons (SNs) detect a wide range of information from the body and the environment that is critical for homeostasis. There are three main subtypes of SNs: nociceptors, mechanoreceptors, and proprioceptors, which express different membrane ...
