This study investigates the signal quality of the Stentrode device, a leading vECoG platform, by contrasting artifact persistence with the preservation of low frequency motor cortical activity. Typical (re-)referencing schemes, including a monopolar stent-mounted reference, a common average reference, and a Laplacian reference, are shown to significantly reduce the presence of electrocardiogram (ECG) artifacts compared to a distal monopolar reference. However, resting state beta activity is also significantly diminished when employing these techniques. By using Band-Limited Independent Component Analysis (BL-ICA), a type of spatial filter that allows weighting of the noise on each electrode differently, ECG artifacts are easily separated from vECoG recordings. With this cleaning methodology, signals are reconstructed without the ECG component and the reduction in cross-channel correlation is evaluated, as well as the increase in relative entropy between rest and go distributions. To ensure that low-frequency motor features are preserved, beta bursts features are evaluated in both the source space and reconstructed signal space. BL-ICA is an effective technique to remove widespread ECG artifacts while maintaining typical motor-related features in beta band activity.</p>","PeriodicalId":117,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Science","volume":" ","pages":"e76647"},"PeriodicalIF":14.1,"publicationDate":"2026-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148890498","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The cytokine interleukin-1α has been demonstrated to act as an alarmin released by necrotic cells. In the present study, we investigated the influence of IL-1α on the immune response during acute and chronic pancreatitis. Following tissue injury, pancreatic acinar cells released IL-1α, which activates tissue-resident fibroblasts to differentiate toward a pro-inflammatory phenotype. By secreting chemokines and cytokines such as CXCL5, CCL2, and IL-6, these fibroblasts recruit immune cells to the pancreas. The absence of IL-1α reduces disease severity in acute pancreatitis and chemokine release. Furthermore, IL-1α primes fibroblasts to enhance the production of extracellular matrix-components by the up-regulation of pro-fibrotic receptors such as Il4ra, Il13ra1, and Tgfbr3. Therefore, the deletion of IL-1α significantly reduced the development of tissue fibrosis. A therapeutic blockade of the IL1R1-signaling by i.p. administration of the IL-1-receptor antagonist Anakinra showed the same effect; the severity of acute pancreatitis and fibrogenesis during chronic pancreatitis were reduced. In conclusion, the crosstalk between necrotic acinar cells and fibroblasts mediated by IL-1α plays a crucial role in acute inflammation of the pancreas and fibrogenic signaling.

Here, we uncover an unexpected and direct neuroprotective axis linking the thymus to the central nervous system (CNS). We show that the thymus-derived peptide Thymosin alpha-1 (Tα1) functions as a non-canonical ligand for the Hypocretin (Orexin) Receptor 1 (HCRTR1), a classical neuropeptide receptor on neurons. This engagement shields neurons from cell death by suppressing the activity of Receptor-Interacting Protein Kinase 3 (RIPK3), a central executioner of necroptosis. The physiological relevance of this pathway is highlighted in ischemic stroke, where we found that circulating Tα1 levels were significantly reduced in patients and mice, strongly correlating with disease severity. Genetic deletion of the Tα1-encoding gene Ptma exacerbated stroke injury, whereas therapeutic administration of Tα1 conferred robust neuroprotection and improved functional recovery. Our findings identify a novel thymus-brain signaling pathway, revealing a new neuroprotective function for an immune peptide and an unexpected role for a canonical neuronal receptor.

By employing an ionic gel gating scheme to induce a high Fermi level in graphene, the device achieves a high transmission modulation efficiency of 73.3% for TM-polarized light, along with a broad operational bandwidth of 742 cm<sup>-1</sup>.
