Scalp electroacupuncture targeting trigeminal nerve activation alleviates post‐traumatic stress disorder–induced depression and neuroinflammation in mice

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Scalp electroacupuncture (SA) through activation of the trigeminal pathway exerts anti‐inflammatory, antidepressant, and anxiolytic effects in an animal model of post‐traumatic stress disorder induced by single prolonged stress. This suggests that SA is involved in neuroinflammation and changes in brain‐derived neurotrophic factor protein through the ...

Phase‐Pure 2D Interfacial Perovskite Passivation for Stable and Efficient Photovoltaics

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
Phase‐pure 2D interfacial passivation eliminates mixed‐phase energetic disorder, establishes favorable band alignment, and suppresses interfacial non‐radiative recombination. This review elucidates deterministic phase‐purity control, defect and lattice reconstruction mechanisms, and scalable manufacturing strategies, highlighting how phase‐pure 2D/3D ...
