Artificial Signal Transduction across Membranes [PDF]
ChemBioChem, 2019 AbstractA key conundrum in the construction of an artificial cell is to simultaneously maintain a robust physical barrier to the external environment, while also providing efficient exchange of information across this barrier. Biomimicry provides a number of avenues by which such requirements might be met. Herein, we provide a brief introduction to the

Biomimetic flow-sensor arrays based on the filiform hairs on the cerci of crickets [PDF]
, 2007 In this paper we report on the latest developments in biomimetic flow-sensors based on the flow sensitive mechano-sensors of crickets. Crickets have one form of acoustic sensing evolved in the form of mechanoreceptive sensory hairs.
