Herein, diverse target discovery strategies are overviewed for the pharmacological and toxicological studies of CEL, including chemical proteomics, protein microarray, degradation-based protein profiling, proteome-wide label-free approaches, network pharmacology, target-based drug screening, multi-omics analysis, and hypothesis-driven target confirmation. Dozens of CEL targets have been identified, which significantly suggests that CEL functions as a multi-target therapeutic agent. Further network interaction analysis and frequency analysis of collected targets reveal that PRDXs, HMGB1, HSP90, STAT3, and PKM2 may serve as key targets for CEL. Additionally, this review highlights the positive role of target discovery in facilitating CEL-based combination therapy and drug delivery, which is essential for further advancing the clinical applications of CEL.

However, traditional methods using rigid electrodes have been limited by large stimulating currents, low precision, and the risk of tissue damage. In this work, we developed a biocompatible ultraflexible electrode array that allows for both neural recording of spike firings and low-threshold, high-precision stimulation for neuromodulation. Specifically, mouse turning behavior can be effectively induced with approximately five microamperes of stimulating current, which is significantly lower than that required by conventional rigid electrodes. The array's densely packed microelectrodes enable highly selective stimulation, allowing precise targeting of specific brain areas critical for turning behavior. This low-current, targeted stimulation approach helps maintain the health of both neurons and electrodes, as evidenced by stable neural recordings after extended stimulations. Systematic validations have confirmed the durability and biocompatibility of the electrodes. Moreover, we extended the flexible electrode array to a brain-to-brain interface system that allows human brain signals to directly control mouse behavior. Using advanced decoding methods, a single individual can issue eight commands to simultaneously control the behaviors of two mice.

Therefore, the development of the more direct methods for C─H bond cleavage and the elucidation of their mechanisms will provide an important theoretical basis for achieving more efficient C─H functionalization and target molecule construction. In this study, the catalyst-free photon-induced direct homolysis of C<sub>sp3</sub>─H bonds at room temperature was discovered for the first time. The applicable substrate scope of this phenomenon is very wide, expanding from the initial benzyl compounds to aliphatic alcohols, alkanes, olefins, polymers containing benzyl hydrogens, and even gaseous methane. Experiments and calculations have demonstrated that this process involves rapid vibrational relaxation on the femtosecond time scale, leading to the formation of hydrogen radical and carbon radical. Importantly, the direct homolysis of C<sub>sp3</sub>─H bonds is independent of the presence of oxidants, highlighting its spontaneous nature. Additionally, the cleaved hydrogen radical exhibits diverse reactivity, including coupling reactions to produce hydrogen gas (H<sub>2</sub>), reduction of oxygen to generate hydrogen peroxide (H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>), and reduction of carbon dioxide to formic acid (HCOOH). Notably, in the field of H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> production, the absence of a catalyst allows for the bypassing of inherent drawbacks associated with photocatalysts, thereby presenting significant potential for practical application. Furthermore, the cleaved carbon radicals display enhanced reactivity, providing excellent opportunities for direct functionalization, thereby enabling efficient C─H bond activation and molecular construction.
