Background: The common occurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF) as a cardiac arrhythmia, along with its link to sleep deprivation (SD), is gaining more acknowledgment. Even with progress in comprehending the development of AF, the molecular connections between SD and AF are still not well-defined. The objective of this research was to pinpoint the shared molecular routes responsible for SD-induced AF and investigate possible treatment targets.

Gravity-driven microfluidic chips offer portability and flexibility in different settings because pumps and connecting tubes are unnecessary for driving fluid flow. In a previous study, human induced pluripotent stem cells were cultured using gravity-driven microfluidics, with the liquid flow rate regulated by a tilting table. However, instability in cell culture has been observed, occasionally leading to cell death owing to unknown causes.

The developing brain undergoes a remarkable process of synapse production and maturation, particularly in glutamatergic synapses. In this study, we focused on the locus coeruleus (LC) nucleus, a brain region crucial for cognitive functions, to investigate the developmental changes in glutamatergic synaptic connections. Using the whole-cell patch clamp method, we recorded evoked excitatory postsynaptic currents (eEPSCs) from LC neurons in rats at ages 7, 14, and 21 days.

The next generation of soft electronics will expand to the third dimension. This will require the integration of mechanically compliant 3D functional structures with stretchable materials. Here, omnidirectional direct ink writing (DIW) of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene): polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) aerogels with tunable electrical and mechanical performance is demonstrated, which can be integrated with soft substrates.
