Analog neuromorphic computing systems emulate the parallelism and connectivity of the human brain, promising greater expressivity and energy efficiency compared to those of digital systems. Though many devices have emerged as candidates for artificial neurons and artificial synapses, there have been few device candidates for artificial dendrites. In this work, we report on biocompatible graphene-based artificial dendrites (GrADs) that can implement dendritic processing. By using a dual side-gate configuration, current applied through a Nafion membrane can be used to control device conductance across a trilayer graphene channel, showing spatiotemporal responses of leaky recurrent, alpha, and Gaussian dendritic potentials. The devices can be variably connected to enable higher-order neuronal responses, and we show through data-driven spiking neural network simulations that spiking activity is reduced by ≤15% without accuracy loss while low-frequency operation is stabilized. This positions the GrADs as strong candidates for energy efficient bio-interfaced spiking neural networks.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has made significant strides by imitating biological neurons and synapses through simplified models, yet incomplete neuron functionalities can limit performance and energy efficiency in handling complex tasks. Biological neurons process input signals nonlinearly, utilizing dendrites to process spatial-temporal information. This study demonstrates the compact artificial dendrite device employing memristors based on bismuth oxyselenide (BiOSe).

The irreversible chemistry of the Zn anode, attributed to parasitic reactions and the growth of zinc dendrites, is the bottleneck in the commercialization of aqueous zinc-ion batteries. Herein, an efficient strategy via constructing an organic protective layer configured with a honeycomb-like globular-covalent organic framework (G-COF) was constructed to enhance the interfacial stability of Zn anodes. Theoretical analyses disclose that the methoxy and imine groups in G-COF have more negative adsorption energy and electrostatic potential distribution, favorable Zn adsorption, and diffusion.

Sodium metal batteries, which are low-cost and have great potential for large-scale energy storage, face challenges such as shortened battery life and safety issues due to the uncontrolled growth of sodium dendrites and extensive side reactions during the cycling of sodium metal anodes. In this work, we address these challenges by introducing SnF to the surface of the sodium metal, which in situ generates a stable composite interfacial layer (NaSn@NaF). This interfacial layer contains Na-Sn alloy with a potential gradient and electrically insulating NaF, which promotes uniform deposition of Na ions and effectively suppresses dendrite formation and side reactions.

The development of an engineered RNA device capable of detecting multiple biomarkers to evaluate pathological states and autonomously implement responsive therapies is urgently needed. Here, we report InCasApt, an integrated nano CRISPR Cas13a/RNA aptamer theranostic platform capable of achieving both biomarker detection and biomarker-driven therapy. Within this system, a Cas13a/crRNA complex, a hairpin reporter (HR), a dinitroaniline caged Ce6 photosensitizer (Ce6-DN), and a DN-binding RNA aptamer precursor (DNBApt) are coloaded onto dendritic mesoporous silicon nanoparticles (DMSN) in a controlled manner.

Introduction: Recent investigations have highlighted the intratumoral administration of Toll-like receptor (TLR) ligands as a promising approach to initiate localized immune responses and enhance antitumor immunity. However, the clinical application of these ligands is limited by their rapid dissemination from the tumor microenvironment, raising concerns about reduced effectiveness and systemic toxicity.
Methods: To address these challenges, our study focused on the intratumoral delivery of mRNA encoding UNE-C1, a TLR2/6 ligand known for its efficacy and low toxicity profile.
