Advancing our understanding of brain function and developing treatments for neurological diseases hinge on the ability to modulate neuronal groups in specific areas without invasive techniques. Here, we introduce Airy-beam holographic sonogenetics (AhSonogenetics) as an implant-free, cell type–specific, spatially precise, flexible neuromodulation approach freely moving mice. AhSonogenetics utilizes wearable ultrasound devices manufactured using 3D-printed metasurfaces. These are designed...
Focused ultrasound (FUS)-enabled liquid biopsy (sonobiopsy) is an emerging technique for the noninvasive and spatiotemporally controlled diagnosis of brain cancer by inducing blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption to release tumor-specific biomarkers into blood circulation. The feasibility, safety, efficacy sonobiopsy were demonstrated in both small large animal models using magnetic resonance-guided FUS devices. However, high cost complex operation devices limit future broad application...
Overhead irrigation is widely used to water lettuce during commercial production in China but exerts potential wastage and pollution. Subirrigation thought as a water-saving, high-efficiency fertigation strategy. However, few studies have compared the nutritional value nitrate content of grown using subirrigation with plants cultivated overhead irrigation. Therefore, this study explored ability ebb-and-flow strategies produce high yields leafy (cultivar Biscia Rossa) low content. Lettuce...
