The Mind From Within: Visceral Roots of Human Cognition

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The physiological activity of visceral organs, such as the heart, the lungs, and the gut, is surprisingly linked to many sophisticated mental operations, such as remembering the past, being aware of ourselves, making choices, and forging social bonds.

A Dual‐Modal Wearable PPG Smartwatch with AI‐Enhanced Correction for High‐Accuracy and Continuous AF Burden Assessment

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Atrial fibrillation (AF) increases the risk of stroke and heart failure, yet accurate quantification of AF burden in daily life remains difficult. Although smartwatch photoplethysmography (PPG) supports continuous monitoring, complex rhythms and signal noise can impair burden estimation.

A Microcapsule‐Integrated smRandom‐seq Platform Enables Fixation‐Free Single Microbe RNA Sequencing

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We developed a microcapsule‐integrated high‐throughput fixation‐free single‐microbe RNA‐seq workflow in which microbes are encapsulated in aqueous two‐phase microcapsules for physical confinement of nucleic acids. This platform enables co‐encapsulation with barcoded beads for sequencing and reveals that fixation‐free processing enhances transcriptomic ...

Tumor Exposomics: A New Paradigm for Individualized Continuous Exposure Monitoring

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Tumor exposomics integrates continuous monitoring of environmental exposures, endogenous biological responses, and behavioral factors within a unified temporal framework. By combining multimodal sensing technologies with AI‐enabled causal modeling, this emerging paradigm reconstructs exposure‐damage trajectories and supports individualized dynamic risk
