Detangling hair using feedback-driven robotic brushing
The brushing of hair requires a complex understanding of the interaction between soft hair fibers and the soft brushing device. It is also reliant on having both visual and tactile information. Guided by a recently developed model of soft tangled fiber bun ...
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.2021A Wearable Autonomous Colorimetric Sweat Induction System for Sweat Analysis
Silvia Demuru, Brince Paul Kunnel
The wearable biochemical sweat sensor's capability to provide insight into molecular information of health dynamics ignites sweat analysis as a promising noninvasive diagnosis scheme for precision medicine. Here, we demonstrate, for the first time, a color ...
IEEE2021Efficient viral transduction in mouse inner ear hair cells with utricle injection and AAV9-PHP.B
Bernard Schneider, Paola Andrea Solanes Vega
Viral delivery of exogenous coding sequences into the inner ear has the potential for therapeutic benefit for patients suffering genetic or acquired hearing loss. To devise improved strategies for viral delivery, we investigated two injection techniques, r ...
2020DNA-uptake pilus of Vibrio cholerae capable of kin-discriminated auto-aggregation
Melanie Blokesch, Sandrine Stutzmann, Candice Stoudmann, David William Adams
Natural competence for transformation is a widely used and key mode of horizontal gene transfer that can foster rapid bacterial evolution. Competent bacteria take-up DNA from their environment using Type IV pili, a widespread and multi-purpose class of cel ...
2018Selective Peptide-Mediated Enhanced Deposition of Polymer Fragrance Delivery Systems on Human Hair
Harm-Anton Klok, Kemal Arda Günay
The deposition of fragrance delivery systems onto human hair from a shampoo formulation is a challenging task, as the primary function of shampoo is to cleanse the hair by removing primarily hydrophobic moieties. In this work, to tackle this challenge, pha ...
2017Bioinspired Selective Surface Deposition of Fragrance Delivery Systems
The perception of pleasantness in many of the consumer goods is provided by volatile chemical compounds called fragrances. While the volatility of fragrances is essential to provide a pleasant olfactory response, it presents at the same time a technologi ...
EPFL2016Assessment of occupational exposure to pesticides with multi-class pesticide residues analysis in human hairs using a modified QuEChERS extraction method, case study of gardening areas in Burkina Faso
Luiz Felippe De Alencastro, Edouard René Gilbert Lehmann, Christelle Oltramare, Jean-Jacques Stéphane Nfon Dibie
Pesticides have been proved to potentially cause multiple adverse health effects. The present study is part of a global project focusing on pesticides impacts on the environment and human health in gardening in Burkina Faso. In absence of existing monitori ...
2016From the early steps of whisker formation to its evolutionary disappearance: the (curious) case of Prdm1 and its regulation
Whiskers (also known as vibrissae) are sensory organs that are thought to have first appeared in Therapsida, a group of synapsids that includes mammals and evolutionary ancestors like the Thrinaxodon(1). They are highly conserved among mammals to the notab ...
EPFL2016Analysis of Mammary Gland Phenotypes by Transplantation of the Genetically Marked Mammary Epithelium
The mammary gland is the only organ to undergo most of its development after birth and therefore particularly attractive for studying developmental processes. In the mouse, powerful tissue recombination techniques are available that can be elegantly combin ...
2016Stretchable capacitive tactile skin on humanoid robot fingers - first experiments and results
Aude Billard, Stéphanie Lacour, Nicolas Sommer, Aaron Powers Gerratt
A stretchable tactile sensor skin has been demonstrated on the dorsal side of a robotic hand for the first time. The sensors can detect normal pressures on the same scale as human skin but also in excess of 250 kPa and withstand strains in excess of 15%. U ...
