author keywords: Bioelectric; cyborgs; flight control; implantable electrodes; insects; metamorphosis; neural implants; neuromuscular
MeSH headings : Animals; Behavior, Animal / physiology; Cybernetics / instrumentation; Cybernetics / methods; Electrodes, Implanted; Flight, Animal / physiology; Manduca / physiology; Materials Testing; Metamorphosis, Biological; Muscle Contraction / physiology; Muscles / physiology; Signal Processing, Computer-Assisted; Wings, Animal / physiology
TL;DR:
The bioelectronic interface formed by placing microfabricated probes into insect during metamorphic growth cycles enables multidisciplinary scientific and engineering studies not only to investigate the details of insect behavioral physiology but also to control it.

Early upregulation of iNOS mRNA expression and increase in NO metabolites in pressurized renal epithelial cells
American Journal of Physiology-Renal Physiology, 293(6), F1877–F1888.
author keywords: unilateral ureteral obstruction; nitric oxide; cyclic guanosine monophosphate; inducible nitric oxide synthase; cytokine mix
MeSH headings : Animals; Apoptosis / drug effects; Apoptosis / genetics; Apoptosis / physiology; Cell Line; Cell Proliferation; Cyclic GMP / biosynthesis; DNA Primers; Dose-Response Relationship, Drug; Enzyme Induction / drug effects; Enzyme Induction / physiology; Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay; Epithelial Cells / drug effects; Epithelial Cells / metabolism; Humans; Immunohistochemistry; Kidney / cytology; Kidney / drug effects; Kidney / metabolism; Kidney Tubules, Proximal / cytology; Kidney Tubules, Proximal / enzymology; NF-kappa B / antagonists & inhibitors; NF-kappa B / physiology; Nitric Oxide / metabolism; Nitric Oxide Synthase Type II / biosynthesis; Nitric Oxide Synthase Type II / genetics; Pressure; RNA, Messenger / biosynthesis; RNA, Messenger / genetics; Rats; Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction
TL;DR:
It is demonstrated that with the use of a simply designed apparatus, pressure led to an extremely early induction of iNOS and a rapid activation of NOS activity to increase NO and cGMP in proximal tubule epithelial cells.
