Simplifying Exosuits: Kinematic Couplings in the Upper Extremity during Daily Living Tasks

In the past few years, several light-weight soft wearable robots, so called exosuits, for upper extremity assistance have been developed. The design of exosuits is often based on a bio-mimetic design approach, mimicking the human biomechanics. However, in ...

Diverse roles of TssA-like proteins in the assembly of bacterial type VI secretion systems

Henning Paul-Julius Stahlberg, Sergey Nazarov

Protein translocation by the bacterial type VI secretion system (T6SS) is driven by a rapid contraction of a sheath assembled around a tube with associated effectors. Here, we show that TssA-like or TagA-like proteins with a conserved N-terminal domain and ...
