A Behavioral Science Approach to Analyzing Climate Change Awareness

The findings of this research have been published in Science Advances on Abstract Effectively reducing climate change requires marked, global behavior change. However, it is unclear which strategies are most likely to motivate people to change their climate beliefs and behaviors. Here, we tested 11 expert-crowdsourced interventions...

Revolutionary iEEG-Microdisplay Unveiled to Enhance Brain Surgery Success

Abstract Functional mapping during brain surgery is applied to define brain areas that control critical functions and cannot be removed. Currently, these procedures rely on verbal interactions between the neurosurgeon and electrophysiologist, which can be time-consuming. In addition, the electrode grids that are used to measure...

Breakthrough in Organ-on-a-Chip Technology Enhances Targeted Drug Delivery

  Abstract Organ-on-a-chip, which recapitulates the dynamics of in vivo vasculature, has emerged as a promising platform for studying organ-specific vascular beds. However, its practical advantages in identifying vascular-targeted drug delivery systems (DDS) over traditional in vitro models remain underexplored. This study demonstrates the reliability and efficacy...
