A cholesterol-sensing mechanism unfolds [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2017 Squalene monooxygenase (SM), which synthesizes a cholesterol precursor, is degraded when cholesterol levels in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane are high, but the signal for degradation was not known. In this issue of JBC, Brown and co-workers identify an N-terminal domain in SM that interconverts in a cholesterol-sensitive manner between a ...

Mechanical Force Sensing in Tissues [PDF]
, 2014 Tissue size, shape, and organization reflect individual cell behaviors such as proliferation, shape change, and movement. Evidence suggests that mechanical signals operate in tandem with biochemical cues to properly coordinate cell behavior and pattern tissues.

Basic Solid Mechanics for Tactile Sensing [PDF]
The International Journal of Robotics Research, 1985 In order for a robot hand to grasp objects stably without using object models, tactile feedback from the fingers is sometimes necessary. This feedback can be used to adjust grasping forces to prevent a part from slipping from a hand. If the angle of force at the object-finger contact can be deter mined, slip can be prevented by the proper adjustment of

Sensing mechanism for a fluoride chemosensor: invalidity of excited-state proton transfer mechanism
, 2013 Our density functional theory (DFT)/time-dependent DFT calculations for the fluoride anion sensor, 5,7-dibromo-8-tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy-2-methylquinoline (DBM), suggested a different sensing mechanism from the experimentally proposed one (Chem ...
