A review paper by scientists at the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences summarized electrode array devices used for electrophysiological and electrochemical detections in primates’ deep brains.

The new review paper, published on May. 2 in the journal Cyborg and Bionic Systems, focus on electrode arrays for detecting and modulating deep brain neural information in primates.

A research paper by scientists at Peking University Third Hospital proposed a parameter-adjustable photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy apparatus to screen for the optimal PBM parameters for treating ischemic stroke and preventing post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI).

The new research paper, published on May. 6 in the journal Cyborg and Bionic Systems, provide a PBM therapy apparatus with custom parameters. By evaluating the treatment effect, we identified that 755 nm was the optimal light wavelength for ischemic stroke in rats with transient middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion.

Flexible organic near-infrared (NIR) sensors are gaining significant attention across various applications, particularly in clinical settings, where they hold the potential to significantly enhance human wellbeing. This review highlights recent advancements in flexible organic photodetectors (OPDs) and examines the opportunities and technical challenges in diverse fields such as environmental pollution monitoring, bioimaging, food testing, automotive applications, healthcare, artificial vision, wearable electronics, and optical communication.

Researchers have unveiled the first comprehensive analysis of China's urban expansion from 1990-2020, revealing how cities have adapted to their environments and faced varying disaster risks. The study found that while 83% of urban development occurred in suitable areas, 14% expanded into high-risk zones, with eastern regions facing water-related disasters, western regions threatened by earthquakes, and northeastern areas vulnerable to extreme cold.

In a paper published on aBIOTECH, the authors identified resistance-breaking Potato virus Y (PVY RB) isolates and emerging potyviruses (TVBMV and ChiVMV) in Yunnan tobacco fields, and revealed that combined inactivation of eIFiso4E-T in the va (lacking eIF4E1-S) genetic background confers durable resistance to PVY, while knockout of eIFiso4E-S in the va genetic background confers resistance to TVBMV and ChiVMV; pyramiding mutations in these genes achieved broad-spectrum potyvirus resistance without compromising plant growth, offering a novel strategy for engineering resistance crops.
