Robust IgM responses following intravenous vaccination with Bacille Calmette-Guérin associate with prevention of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection in macaques.

Development of an effective tuberculosis (TB) vaccine has suffered from an incomplete understanding of the correlates of protection against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). Intravenous (i.v.

Opto-electro-thermal optimization of photonic probes for optogenetic neural stimulation.

Implantable photonic probes are of increasing interest to the field of biophotonics and in particular, optogenetic neural stimulation. Active probes with onboard light emissive elements allow for electronic multiplexing and can be manufactured through existing microelectronics methods. However, as the optogenetics field moves towards clinical practice, an important question arises as to whether such probes will cause excessive thermal heating of the surrounding tissue.
