CHARACTERIZATION OF ELASTIC POLYMER-BASED SMART INSOLE AND A SIMPLE FOOT PLANTAR PRESSURE VISUALIZATION METHOD USING 16 ELECTRODES

Characterization of Elastic Polymer-Based Smart Insole and a Simple Foot Plantar Pressure Visualization Method Using 16 Electrodes

In this paper, we propose a smart insole for inexpensive plantar pressure sensing and a simple visualizing scheme.The insole is composed of Parts two elastomeric layers and two electrode layers where the common top electrode is submerged in the insole.The upper elastomeric layer is non-conductive poly-dimethyl-siloxane (PDMS) and supports plantar p

Crosstalk and ultrasensitivity in protein degradation pathways.

Protein turnover is vital to cellular homeostasis.Many proteins are degraded efficiently only after they have been post-translationally "tagged" with a polyubiquitin chain.Ubiquitylation is a form of Post-Translational Modification (PTM): addition of a ubiquitin to the chain is catalyzed by E3 ligases, and removal of ubiquitin is catalyzed by a De-
