Capturing the Electrical Activity of all Cortical Neurons: Are Solutions Within Reach?
Despite advancements in implantable electrode technology, challenges persist in scaling up these devices to record most of the neuronal activity across the cortex. This review explores the limitations of both rigid and flexible probes, including tissue damage and foreign body response, while also discussing emerging biohybrid strategies.

Glioblastoma (GBM) is an aggressive brain cancer that often recurs and resists chemotherapy. This study found that a chemical called PGE2 causes surrounding brain cells (neurons) to become over‐excited, which makes GBM cells resistant to treatment. Researchers developed a new drug, “Compound 11,” which can cross into the brain and effectively block ...

This study shows that diabetes damages sensory nerve fibers, especially CGRP‐positive ones, in the periodontium and disrupts autophagy in trigeminal ganglion neurons, affecting bone homeostasis by inhibiting type H vessel formation. To address this, CGRP@PVA/tsPBA hydrogels are developed to release CGRP in response to ROS, which binds to endothelial ...

Genomic Insights into the Origin, High Fecundity and Environmental Adaptation of Hu Sheep
The Hu sheep diverged from the Small‐tailed Han sheep ≈1330 years ago, and subsequently migrated from northern to warm and humid southern regions. The genes BMPR1B, UNC5C, and GRID2 play a synergistic role in the superior reproductive traits of Hu sheep.
