Smart Nanotechnologies for Multimodal Neuromodulation and Brain Interfacing

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Recent advances in smart nanotechnologies are expanding the toolbox for brain interfacing, from wireless neuromodulation and high‐resolution sensing to targeted delivery within the central nervous system. By combining responsive nanomaterials with bioinspired design, these platforms enable multimodal interactions with neurons and glia, while also ...

Explainable AI‐Driven Optimization of Electrode Activation Reduces Power Consumption While Preserving Object Recognition in Retinal Prostheses

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) guides selective electrode activation in retinal prostheses by emphasizing visually informative regions. XAI‐assisted phosphene generation maintains object recognition performance while significantly reducing stimulation power.

Modeling retinitis pigmentosa through patient-derived retinal organoids

STAR Protocols, 2021
Summary: Human-induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) can be differentiated into well-structured retinal organoids. In this protocol, we successfully established 3D retinae from patient-derived hiPSCs and built the retinitis pigmentosa model in vitro ...

Genome Sequencing in 19 Families With Bladder Exstrophy and Epispadias Complex Indicates Involvement of the ADGR‐Gene Family

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bladder exstrophy and epispadias complex (BEEC) is one of the most severe congenital malformations of the urogenital tract, significantly impacting continence, sexual function, and renal function. To date, the only recurrent genetic aberration identified is the 22q.11.2 microduplication, but several candidate regions and genes including ...

Anatomical and functional correlates of cystic macular edema in retinitis pigmentosa.

PLoS ONE, 2022
Cystoid macular edema (CME) is a major cause of central visual deterioration in retinitis pigmentosa. The exact reason for CME and its prognostic significance in this patient population is unknown.

Unveiling a New Link: Cholesterol Deficiency in Smith–Lemli–Opitz and Niemann–Pick C as a Driver of Ciliopathies

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The ciliopathies are a group of genetic disorders caused by defective function of either the primary cilia (a large number) or the motile cilia (a much smaller number). These have been defined as diseases with mutations in genes encoding individual ciliary or cilia‐associated proteins.

Ex Vivo Evaluation of Poly(Solketal Acrylate) Nanoparticles for Intravitreal Drug Delivery to the Posterior Eye Segment

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Nile Red‐loaded poly(solketal acrylate) nanoparticles enable fluorescence tracking and exhibit nontoxic profiles in retinal cells. Enhanced cellular uptake and deep retinal penetration after intravitreal injection highlight their excellent potential for targeted ocular drug delivery to the posterior segment of the eye.

Functional reassessment of extended splice region variants in MYO7A with hearing loss and Usher syndrome

The Journal of Pathology, EarlyView.
Abstract MYO7A is a causal gene, underlying Usher syndrome type 1B (USH1B) and both autosomal recessive (DFNB2) and dominant (DFNA11) non‐syndromic hearing loss. Despite the large number of reported MYO7A variants (over 2,200), variants located in an extended splice region remain difficult to interpret and are often classified as variants of uncertain ...
