The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Discriminative and affective touch: sensing and feeling. (2014, background): “A recent view, mainly based on the anatomical organization of LTMs in mouse hairy skin and their central projections, suggests that integration of signals from the different LTMs takes place in the dorsal horn (Abraira and Ginty, 2013).”
Prosthesis with neuromorphic multilayered e-dermis perceives touch and pain (2018, background): “INTRODUCTION One of the primary functions of the somatosensory system is to provide exteroceptive sensations to help us perceive and react to stimuli from outside of our body (1).”
iDISCO: a simple, rapid method to immunolabel large tissue samples for volume imaging. (2014, neutral): “When compatible, we recommend using methanol treatment, especially in adult tissues, to maximally reduce tissue autofluorescence and improve antibody diffusion; the nondenaturing approach provides an alternative if needed that can still give excellent results in embryos and trimmed adult tissues.”
Soft magnetic skin for super-resolution tactile sensing with force self-decoupling (2021, background): “Human skin, which mainly consists of four types of mechanoreceptors (SA-I, SA-II, RA-I, and RA-II) ( 3 , 4 ), is able to perceive tactile stimulus at a spatial resolution higher than the average spacing between mechanoreceptors in the finger (known as the tactile hyperacuity or super-resolution) (…”
