Modulating consciousness with acoustic-electric stimulation

open access: yes, 2023
The research aimed to create a groundbreaking neuromodulation method to improve consciousness. Firstly, an innovative rhythmic sound and electric stimulation technique was introduced to modulate consciousness in healthy individuals. Subsequently, this technique was tested on patients with consciousness disorders.

Photothermally Powered 3D Microgels Mechanically Regulate Mesenchymal Stem Cells Under Anisotropic Force

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
The photothermally powered microgel is designed to mechanically train mesenchymal stem cells using spatially patterned exogenous forces in three‐dimensional (3D) workspaces. When microgels are activated selectively via photothermal actuation, locally confined tens of nN forces are exerted on cells, triggering osteogenic differentiation in encapsulated ...
