Framework with cytoskeletal actin filaments forming insect footpad hairs inspires biomimetic adhesive device design

K. Kimura, R. Minami, et al.

Discover how footpad hair in Drosophila is crafted through hair cell elongation and actin filament assembly, as demonstrated by researchers Ken-ichi Kimura, Ryunosuke Minami, Yumi Yamahama, Takahiko Hariyama, and Naoe Hosoda. Their findings inspire a novel spatula-like adhesive device, showcasing a simple self-assembly mechanism for efficient, cost-effective adhesion.
