Advances in Medical Devices for Augmented Acupuncture Therapy
Traditional acupuncture therapy faces several challenges in clinical applications, such as complex operation procedures and prolonged therapeutic periods. By incorporating physical stimulations and drug delivery technologies, engineered acupuncture needles (EANs) can enhance therapeutic efficacy, improve patient compliance, as well as mitigate ...

An integral healable dielectric elastomer actuator (ISDEA) with a premature breakdown warning function is prepared based on the combination of electroluminescent dielectric elastomer and transparent compliant electrodes. Several ISDEAs are combined to construct soft anti‐counterfeiting labels and soft intelligent keyboards, expanding their potential ...

Bionic Multimodal Augmented Somatosensory Receptor Enabled by Thermogalvanic Hydrogel
A skin‐inspired self‐powered multimodal fingertip receptor that integrates thermogalvanic hydrogels as active mechanoreceptors and thermoreceptors is proposed. By exploiting dynamic‐static thermovoltage of the hydrogel to visualize the unsteady interfacial heat conduction, different materials can be determined in 80 ms.

Genome‐wide analyses indicate that reduced ventral diencephalon and thalamus volumes, along with decreased functional connectivity within the triple network (DMN/CEN/SN), are uniquely associated with the risk of major depression (MD) onset, compared to other similar severe psychiatric disorders.

Biohybrid Computing with Proteinoids and Algae
We developed a novel biohybrid computing system by combining proteinoid microspheres with algae. The biological mixture creates spontaneous electrical oscillations. These oscillations can perform simple logic operations, such as AND, OR, NAND, and NOR gates. Environmental factors like temperature and pH affect how the system works.

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 ...
