The Basis of Rapid Adaptation in Mechanoreceptors

, 1994
Mechanoreceptors often adapt rapidly and completely to a sustained mechanical stimulus. This adaptation is usually assumed to be caused by mechanical structures surrounding sensory endings, but old and new evidence from several preparations indicates ...

A Versatile‐Designable Framework for Active and Programmable Shape‐Morphing Soft Matter Systems: From Inverse Design to Closed‐Loop Control

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A versatile framework integrates addressable electrothermal actuation and strain‐constraint mechanisms to construct programmable shape‐morphing soft matter systems. By combining an analytical inverse design strategy for high‐fidelity 3D surface reconstruction with deep learning‐based closed‐loop control, this approach enables zero‐energy shape locking,

Mechanoreceptors Found in a Posterior Cruciate Ligament From a Well-Functioning Total Knee Arthroplasty Retrieval

, 2011
Histologic analysis of the posterior cruciate ligament has been reported in the normal and osteoarthritic knee but not after cruciate-retaining (CR) total knee arthroplasty (TKA).

Molecular and Cellular Hallmarks of Age‐Related Vestibular Hair Cell Degeneration

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study utilizes single‐cell RNA‐seq transcriptomes, advanced imaging, and electrophysiology to examine universal and cell‐type‐specific aging signatures of vestibular hair cells. The study shows that impaired hair bundle function is a key driver of age‐related vestibular dysfunction.

Molecular pathways of proprioceptive dorsal root ganglion (DRG) sensory neuron specification [PDF]

, 2005
Dorsal root ganglia (DRG) sensory neurons can be classified into distinct neuronal subpopulations based on the expression of specific receptor tyrosine kinases known as neurotrophic factor receptors.

Review of Gastrointestinal Capsule Robots: Materials, Actuation, Diagnostics, and Therapeutics

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This review examines gastrointestinal capsule robots through a systems engineering lens, covering shell materials, actuation and localization strategies, diagnostic modalities, therapeutic interventions, and commercialization status. By mapping the complete technological chain from fabrication to clinical deployment, this work identifies critical gaps ...

Mechanosensory entities and functionality of endothelial cells

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology
The endothelial cells of the blood circulation are exposed to hemodynamic forces, such as cyclic strain, hydrostatic forces, and shear stress caused by the blood fluid’s frictional force.

Development of mechanoreceptors.

, 2003
The important morphogenetic and trophic interactions between axon terminals and their associated cells are widely studied. The first experiments examining this relationship were done by denervation studies in different types of mechanoreceptors. Not much

Mechanoreceptors in rat glabrous skin: redevelopment of function after nerve crush

, 1986
In the glabrous skin of the rat's hindfoot the same triple set of low-threshold mechanoreceptors is present as has been found in other mammals: slowly adapting (SA), rapidly adapting (RA), and very rapidly adapting Pacinian corpuscle-like (PC) receptors.

Soft Hypoxia‐Adaptive Bioelectronics Integrating PEDOT:PSS/Polydopamine/Enzyme Biocomposites for Closed‐Loop Therapeutics of Chronic Wounds

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Hypoxia‐adaptive bioelectronics based on poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS)/polydopamine (PDA)/enzyme biocomposites couple O2‐centric biosensing with embedded O2 therapy to address oxygen‐deficient chronic wounds. Local O2 provision restores enzyme‐based metabolite sensing, while catalase‐mediated oxygen generation and
