Cyborg tadpoles that were fitted with neural-tracking implants as embryos could offer a window into the developing brain. newscientist.com/article/248393…
Implantable soft bioelectronics track neural activity in the developing vertebrate brain. nature.com/articles/s4158… #NBThighlight
Researchers have created a thin, stretchable device that can be implanted into a tadpole embryo’s neural plate, the early-stage, flat structure that folds to become the brain and spinal cord. The device records electrical activity from single brain cells. bit.ly/4dR00wM
Webinar: Building autonomous AI agents for spatial transcriptomics! Join us July 17 as we present STAgent, our AI tool that speeds up transcriptomics analysis from weeks to minutes.
Democratizing Spatial Tx-omics webinar, with @ganoopyliujia @WangXiaoLab's @wenbowang11 @ZuwanLin - Looking forward this July 17!
Our latest work is on the cover of @Nature (June 26, 2025)! Even more special: the stunning illustration was hand-drawn by first author Hao Sheng — a true scientist-artist.
Great work lead by Nanshu, giving our guidance for future design of soft electronics for tissue implantation. Also happy birthday to @zhigangsuo !
Although exactly one year late, our JMPS VSI paper honoring @zhigangsuo’s 60th birthday, “Shear-lag model of laminated films with alternating stiff and soft layers wrinkling on soft substrates” is published. @zhigangsuo pioneered wrinkling analysis 20 years ago. Happy Birthday 🎂

#Brain implants for growing brains🧠 Publishing in @Nature, scientists from @Harvard led by @ganoopyliujia implanted ultrasoft implants in the embryonic brains of frogs and axolotls. As the brain grows, the mesh deforms and integrates with neural tissue🚀 nature.com/articles/s4158…
Brain Implants Monitor Neural Activity in Tadpoles Throughout Embryonic Development Cyborg tadpoles could provide new insights into #braindevelopment and help to understand diseases that manifest in early development @hseas #embryodevelopment #nanotech hubs.li/Q03rSf6_0
We implant soft electronics into the brain—not via surgery, but by letting the brain grow around them. Great work lead by Dr. Hao Sheng with Drs. Ren Liu, Zuwan Lin, and Qiang Li
🎉 Excited to share that my PhD work is now published in Nature! We used embryonic development to implant ultrasoft electronics into the brain—enabling non-invasive, stable, high-res neural recording throughout development. 📄 nature.com/articles/s4158… (Fig. 1-4 posted here)
