Blood-Mediated Opto-Acoustic Stimulation of Brain Cortex at Sub-millimeter Precision

Guo Chen, Mingsheng Li, Martin Thunemann, Kıvılcım Kılıç, Xinrui Gong, Carolyn Marar, Nan Zheng, Dingcheng Sun, Yueming Li, Fukai Chen, Hongru Zeng, Ji‐Xin Cheng, Chen Yang

This paper introduces blood-mediated optoacoustic stimulation (BOAS) for precise brain cortex stimulation, showing it can trigger neuronal activity comparable to natural visual stimulation and is more efficient than photothermal methods.

Genome-wide CRISPR screen reveals Wnt signaling defects regulate lipid accumulation in APOE4 oligodendrocytes

Leyla Anne Akay, Anna Bright, Carles A. Boix, Kate Louderback, Janine A Medrano, Dingcheng Sun, Haonan Lin, Oisín King, Gwyneth Welch, Hiba Nawaid, Emre Agbas, Alan Y. L. Jiang, Adele Bubnys, Ji‐Xin Cheng, Joel Blanchard, Li‐Huei Tsai

The paper identifies Wnt signaling defects and GSK3b overactivity as regulators of lipid accumulation in APOE4 oligodendrocytes, showing that inhibiting GSK3b reduces lipid droplets and improves myelination.
