Real-time visualization of structural dynamics of synapses in live cells in vivo
Prof. Won Do Heo’s group at KAIST has developed ‘SynapShot,’ a method for visualizing the structural dynamics of intact synapses by combining dimerization-dependent FPs (ddFPs) with engineered synaptic adhesion molecules. SynapShot allows real-time monitoring of reversible and bidirectional changes of synaptic contacts under physiological stimulation. The application of green and red ddFPs in SynapShot enables simultaneous visualization of two distinct populations of synapses. Notably, the red-shifted SynapShot is highly compatible with blue light-based optogenetic techniques, allowing for vis...read more

Proximity Perception-Based Grasping Intelligence: Toward the Seamless Control of a Dexterous Prosthetic Hand
A novel perception system, the proximity perception-based grasping intelligence (P2GI) system, has been developed to enhance the dexterity of prosthetic hands, closely mimicking human hand functionality. Utilizing embedded proximity sensors and a real-time decision-making algorithm, the P2GI system accurately maps the point cloud of an object and infers the user’s intended grasp posture, achieving a high accuracy of grasp posture classification and a high rate of task success. This advancement promises significant improvements in prosthetic hand control, potentially broadening the application of highly dexterous prosthetic hands in everyday tasks.
