Mice can gather tactile sensory information by actively moving their whiskers to palpate objects in their immediate surroundings. Whisker sensory perception therefore requires integration of sensory and motor information, which occurs prominently in the ne ...
This paper presents a novel multimodal dataset for the analysis of Quality of Experience (QoE) in emerging immersive multimedia technologies. In particular, the perceived Sense of Presence (SoP) induced by one-minute long video stimuli is explored with res ...
Juxtacrine or contact-dependent signaling is a major form of cell communication in multicellular organisms. The involved cell-cell and cell-extracellular-matrix (ECM) interactions are crucial for the organization and maintenance of tissue architecture and ...
Notch signalling represents a form of cell-to-cell communication that plays a pivotal role for cellular organisation during embryonic and postnatal development, as well as in the homeostasis of adult organs and tissues. Malfunction of this signalling pathw ...
Bile acids are well-recognized stimuli of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) secretion. This action has been attributed to activation of the G protein-coupled bile acid receptor GPBAR1 (TGR5), although other potential bile acid sensors include the nuclear far ...
The development of an in vitro culture system, comparable to the in vivo environment in terms of effects on oocyte growth and development, could provide a valuable experimental tool for studying the mechanisms governing oocyte development as well as practi ...
Brassinosteroids are plant steroid hormones that control many aspects of plant growth and development, and are perceived at the cell surface by the plasma membrane-localized receptor kinase BRI1. Here we show that BRI1 is post-translationally modified by K ...
PPAR gamma-dependent gene expression during adipogenesis is facilitated by ADP-ribosyltransferase D-type 1 (ARTD1; PARP1)-catalyzed poly-ADP-ribose (PAR) formation. Adipogenesis is accompanied by a dynamic modulation of the chromatin landscape at PPAR gamm ...
Stem cells play a key role in a wide range of biological processes, in large part due to their ability to self-renew or differentiate into specialized cell types in response to various biological cues. In vivo, stem cells reside in a complex microenvironme ...
In the wild, bacteria are predominantly associated with surfaces as opposed to existing as free-swimming, isolated organisms. They are thus subject to surface-specific mechanics, including hydrodynamic forces, adhesive forces, the rheology of their surroun ...
