Objective: Hypoxic-ischemic brain damage (HIBD) is a leading cause of neonatal mortality, resulting in brain injury and persistent seizures that can last into the late neonatal period and beyond. Effective treatments and interventions for infants affected by hypoxia-ischemia remain lacking. Clinical investigations have indicated an elevation of nuclear factor of activated T cells 5 (NFAT5) in whole blood from umbilical cords of severely affected HIBD infants with epilepsy.

Experimental models for exploring abnormal brain blood vessels, including ischemic stroke, are crucial in neuroscience; recently, significant attention has been paid to artificial tissues through tissue engineering. Nanofibers, although commonly used as tissue engineering scaffolds, undergo structural deformations easily, making it challenging to create uniform tissue, especially for the smallest-diameter ones such as perforating arteries. This study focused on the development of a platform capable of reconstructing structurally and functionally replicated perforating arteries.

Ectopic expression of neurogenic factors in vivo has emerged as a promising approach for replacing lost neurons in disease models. The use of neural basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors via non-propagating virus-like particle systems, including retrovirus, lentivirus, and adeno-associated virus (AAV), has been extensively reported. For in vivo experiments, AAVs are increasingly used due to their low pathogenicity and potential for translatability.

Are the membrane systems able of performing arithmetic operations? In the last dozen years, there were published several implementations of the arithmetic operations based on membrane systems by using all available topologies (cell-like, tissue-like, or neural-like). In particular, the spiking neural P systems perform arithmetic operations by using the numbers represented in binary base. In this paper, we consider numbers represented in unary base (to each number n corresponds an object with multiplicity n), and we propose two encodings for the main arithmetic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division) between numbers given in unary base: (i) for each pair of input values generate an instance of a spiking neural P system with astrocytes producing calcium with rules based on these values; (ii) generate a spiking neural P system with astrocytes producing calcium that does not depend on these values.
