MECHANOSENSORY AND ATP RELEASE DEFICITS FOLLOWING KERATIN14-CRE-MEDIATED TRPA1 DELETION DESPITE ABSENCE OF TRPA1 IN MURINE KERATINOCYTES.

Mechanosensory and ATP Release Deficits following Keratin14-Cre-Mediated TRPA1 Deletion Despite Absence of TRPA1 in Murine Keratinocytes.

Keratinocytes are the first cells that come into direct contact with external tactile stimuli; however, their role in touch transduction in vivo is not clear.The ion channel Transient Receptor Potential Ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) is essential for some mechanically-gated currents in sensory neurons, amplifies mechanical responses after inflammation, and has

Conceptual design of a chickpea harvesting header

Interest in the development of stripper headers is growing owing to the excessive losses of combine harvesters and costs of manually harvesting for chickpeas.The design of a new concept can enhance the mechanized process for chickpea harvesting.A modified stripper platform was designed, in which passive fingers with V-shape slots removes the pods f
