In ophthalmic surgery, intraoperative retinal perfusion assessment/monitoring has been suggested for numerous indications, typically using fluorescence angiography. However, applicability is limited given the difficult arrangement, associated risks and the lack of automated/objective perfusion quantification.

Identifying specific prefrontal neurons that contribute to autism-associated abnormalities in physiology and social behavior. [PDF]
Functional imaging and gene expression studies both implicate the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), particularly deep-layer projection neurons, as a potential locus for autism pathology.

Electrical Microneedles for Wound Treatment
A review on state‐of‐art research concerning electrical microneedles applied for wound treatment is presented. After a comprehensive analysis of mechanisms of electrical stimulation on wound healing, the derived three types of electrical microneedles are clarified and summarized. Further, their applications in wound healing are highlighted.

Experimentally implemented dynamic optogenetic optimization of ATPase expression using knowledge-based and Gaussian-process-supported models [PDF]
Optogenetic modulation of adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) expression represents a novel approach to maximize bioprocess efficiency by leveraging enforced adenosine triphosphate (ATP) turnover. In this study, we experimentally implement a model-based open-loop optimization scheme for optogenetic modulation of the expression of ATPase.

CAV-2 Vector Development and Gene Transfer in the Central and Peripheral Nervous Systems [PDF]
The options available for genetic modification of cells of the central nervous system (CNS) have greatly increased in the last decade. The current panoply of viral and nonviral vectors provides multifunctional platforms to deliver expression cassettes to

Mitochondria across the entire neuromuscular system have been comprehensively reconstructed at different developmental stages using 3D electron microscopy. Fundamental structural principles related to synaptic function are preserved across development, and these morphologies are adapted to ensure effective neural circuit function.
