Habituation in Stentor: produced by mechanoreceptor channel modification

, 1988
Habituation in Stentor was shown in the previous paper (Wood, 1988) to result from a progressive diminution in mechanoreceptor potential amplitude during the course of repetitive mechanical stimulation.

A skin-inspired organic digital mechanoreceptor [PDF]

, 2015
Human skin relies on cutaneous receptors that output digital signals for tactile sensing in which the intensity of stimulation is converted to a series of voltage pulses.

Artificial fast-adapting mechanoreceptor based on carbon nanotube percolating network

, 2022
Most biological sensors preferentially encode changes in a stimulus rather than the steady components. However, intrinsically phasic artificial mechanoreceptors have not yet been described.

Ultra-Morphology and Mechanical Function of the Trichoideum Sensillum in Nabis rugosus (Linnaeus, 1758) (Insecta: Heteroptera: Cimicomorpha)

Insects, 2022
The present study aims to investigate the morphological features of the antennal sensilla by using SEM and TEM. The construction of a 3D model of trichoideum sensillum using Amira software is presented in this paper.

Molecular Mechanisms of Mechanoreceptor Adaptation

, 1994
Mechanoreceptor adaptation to maintained stimulation serves to maximize dynamic sensitivity over a broad stimulus domain. Mechanosensitive channel currents in hair cells and oocytes show similar voltage-dependent adaptation.

A novel strain sensor based on the campaniform sensillum of insects. [PDF]

, 2002
The functional design of the campaniform sensillum was modelled as a hole in a plate using two– and three–dimensional finite–element modelling. Different shapes of opening in a fibrous composite plate amplify differently the global strains imposed on the

Double-edged role of mechanical stimuli and underlying mechanisms in cartilage tissue engineering

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2023
Mechanical stimuli regulate the chondrogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells and the homeostasis of chondrocytes, thus affecting implant success in cartilage tissue engineering.

A T-type calcium channel required for normal function of a mammalian mechanoreceptor

, 2003
The dorsal root ganglia (DRG) contain a variety of mechanoreceptors, but no molecular markers uniquely identify specific mechanoreceptor subtypes. We have used DNA microarrays and subtracted cDNA libraries to isolate genes that are specifically expressed

The crural interosseous membrane re-visited: a histological and microscopic study

European Journal of Translational Myology, 2019
The aim of this study was to characterize the microscopic structure and sensory nerve endings of the crural interosseous membrane (IM). 13 IMs from 7 cadavers were used to analyze the organization of the collagen fibers, IM’s thickness, distribution of ...

The Force Be With You: A Mechanoreceptor Channel in Proprioception and Touch [PDF]

, 2010
The TRPN1 ion channel has a role in both hearing and bristle mechanosensation in fruit flies and in proprioception in nematodes. In this issue of Neuron, two papers present evidence that TRPN1 is also required for proprioception in fruit fly larvae and ...
