Soft Touch using Soft Pneumatic Actuator-Skin as a Wearable Haptic Feedback Device

Jamie Paik, Harshal Arun Sonar, Jian-Lin Huang

Understanding the external environment depends heavily on vision, audition, and touch. Like vision and audition, the human sense of touch is complex. Tactile perception is composed of multiple fundamental and physical experiences felt as changes in stiffne ...

Adsorption Free Energy of Single Amino Acids at the Rutile (110)/Water Interface Studied by Well-Tempered Metadynamics

Paul Bowen, Ulrich Aschauer

Single amino acids are present in blood plasma and are the building blocks of larger organic residues. Their interaction with surfaces is therefore crucial for biomedical applications in contact with blood. In this work, we use well-tempered metadynamics t ...

The gram-negative sensing receptor PGRP-LC contributes to grooming induction in Drosophila

Bruno Lemaitre

Behavioral resistance protects insects from microbial infection. However, signals inducing insect hygiene behavior are still relatively unexplored. Our previous study demonstrated that olfactory signals from microbes enhance insect hygiene behavior, and gu ...

Restoring Natural Sensory Feedback in Real-Time Bidirectional Hand Prostheses

Silvestro Micera, Marco Capogrosso, Stanisa Raspopovic, Francesco Maria Petrini, Jacopo Rigosa, Marco Bonizzato

Hand loss is a highly disabling event that markedly affects the quality of life. To achieve a close to natural replacement for the lost hand, the user should be provided with the rich sensations that we naturally perceive when grasping or manipulating an o ...

A Semisynthetic Fluorescent Sensor Protein for Glutamate

Kai Johnsson, Luc Reymond, Rudolf Griss, Matthias Albert Brun, Kui Thong Tan

We report the semisynthesis of a fluorescent glutamate sensor protein on cell surfaces. Sensor excitation at 547 nm yields a glutamate-dependent emission spectrum between 550 and 700 nm that can be exploited for ratiometric sensing. On cells, the sensor di ...

Semisynthetic Fluorescent Sensor Proteins Based on Self-Labeling Protein Tags

Matthias Albert Brun

Genetically encoded fluorescent sensor proteins offer the possibility to probe the concentration of key metabolites in living cells. The approaches currently used to generate such fluorescent sensor proteins lack generality, as they require a protein that ...

Sensory Attributes of Complex Tasting Divalent Salts Are Mediated by TRPM5 and TRPV1 Channels

Horst Vogel, Céline Riera

Complex tasting divalent salts (CTDS) are present in our daily diet, contributing to multiple poorly understood taste sensations. CTDS evoking metallic, bitter, salty, and astringent sensations include the divalent salts of iron, zinc, copper, and magnesiu ...

Role and mechanism of transient receptor potential (TRP) channels in gustatory and chemesthetic sensations associated with dietary molecules

Céline Riera

"Chemosensory perception", the perception of food chemicals, relies on the complex cooperation of gustatory, olfactory and somatosensory detection systems. In the oral cavity, the taste buds and the lingual branch of the trigeminal nerve are the organs tha ...
