Optical Nanofiber Skins for Multifunctional Humanoid Tactility
Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 5, Issue 2, February 2023., 2023 By embedding the optical nanofibers (ONF) into elastomeric films, multimodal artificial skins that can respond to temperature and force stimuli are achieved. Special modules are further assembled on the ONF skins to recognize material properties including hardness, texture, and thermal conductivity. Commercial robots equipped with the ONF skins perform

Engineering vanilloid-sensitivity into the rat TRPV2 channel
eLife, 2016 The TRPV1 channel is a detector of noxious stimuli, including heat, acidosis, vanilloid compounds and lipids. The gating mechanisms of the related TRPV2 channel are poorly understood because selective high affinity ligands are not available, and the ...

Fluorescence Turns on‐off‐on Sensing of Ferric Ion and L‐Ascorbic Acid by Carbon Quantum Dots
Journal of Food Quality, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023 This study used a hydrothermal approach to create a sensitive and focused nanoprobe. Using an “on‐off‐on” sensing mechanism, the nanoprobe was employed to detect and quantify ferric ions and L‐ascorbic acid. Synthesis of the carbon quantum dots was achieved with a single hydrothermal step at 180°C for 24 hours using hot pepper as the starting material.

Crystal structure of a thermophilic GrpE protein: insight into thermosensing function for the DnaK chaperone system. [PDF]
, 2010 A homodimeric GrpE protein functions as a nucleotide exchange factor of the eubacterium DnaK molecular chaperone system. The co-chaperone GrpE accelerates ADP dissociation from, and promotes ATP binding to, DnaK, which cooperatively facilitates the DnaK ...

TREKing noxious thermosensation [PDF]
The EMBO Journal, 2009 The ability to sense environmental temperature as pleasant or unpleasant is associated with the activity of thermo‐sensitive neurons in the peripheral nervous system. Differential sensation of pleasant environmental temperatures (warm and cool) versus unpleasant and noxious (cold and hot) temperatures requires the definition of thresholds and ...
