Three-dimensional ultrastructural characterization of Drosophila melanogaster hygrosensilla across humidity conditions.

PloS one
Understanding how organisms detect environmental humidity remains a fundamental problem in sensory biology. While specialised sensory neurons in insect antennae can detect changes in humidity, the mechanism underlying this ability is not fully unders...

An all-optical multidirectional mechano-sensor inspired by biologically mechano-sensitive hair sensilla.

Nature communications
Mechano-sensitive hair-like sensilla (MSHS) have an ingenious and compact three-dimensional structure and have evolved widely in living organisms to perceive multidirectional mechanical signals. Nearly all MSHS are iontronic or electronic, including ...
