Advanced Science, EarlyView.Using a novel zebrafish‐based inflammatory screening strategy, we screened and identified 18β‐glycyrrhetinic acid (18β‐GA) as a promising anti‐inflammatory candidate. We uncover a microglial mTOR–autophagy–NLRP3 axis that constitutes the mechanistic core of 18β‐GA–mediated neuroprotection.

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.Invertebrates are the classic neuroscience models and should make a comeback. Invertebrate organisms can be a more ethical and cost‐effective way to move bioelectronics research forward more rapidly. ABSTRACT The accelerating development of bioelectronic neural interfaces has brought increased attention to ethical considerations surrounding in vivo ...

Quality Accreditation of Engineering Education. Issues on an Optimal Accrediting Agency Model [PDF]
Proceedings of the 13th Latin American and Caribbean Conference for Engineering and Technology Engineering Education Facing the Grand Challenges What Are We Doing?, 2015 This paper analyzes in detail the features that set accreditation apart from other qualification processes -i.e the ones relating to graduation and licensure of engineersas a quality marker of engineering education, in terms of its social function and underpinnings; degree of mandate; and geographical scope. Based on this analysis the author argues for:

Thermometric Based‐Microswimmers with Chemical and Optical Engines
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.Temperature sensing at small scales is typically performed using passive luminescent particles. Here, an alternative approach is demonstrated by integrating upconversion thermometry into self‐propelled microswimmers powered by chemical fuels or light. This strategy offers a step toward dynamic thermal sensing at the microscale, relevant to both lab‐on ...
