Article Abstract

Magnetic microrobots with noncontact and real-time control capabilities have garnered marked attention for targeted drug delivery in narrow, enclosed pathways within the human body. The manufacturing method of these magnetic robots plays a crucial role in determining their functionality. In this study, a photocuring 3-dimensional (3D) printing technique with in situ pixel-scale magnetic programming was developed, enabled by a 3D large-scale uniform magnetic field generator with a high strength of approximately 50 mT. Magnetic particles were rotated and aligned on demand to print intelligent structures with a spatial resolution of 50 μm. A novel key-node splicing magnetization method was introduced to control multicurved deformations in 1D strips and 2D membrane magnetic robots, enabling various modes of locomotion, such as rolling, creeping, swimming, and patch-based drug release. To support additional functions, 3D spatial magnetization was implemented for customized spiral capsule robots, allowing precise multidirectional swimming and multitarget droplet-based drug delivery. These multimode and multifunctional magnetic actuators were validated through in vivo operations in confined environments such as the gastrointestinal tract and bladder.

Background: Intensive language-action therapy treats language deficits and depressive symptoms in chronic poststroke aphasia, yet the underlying neural mechanisms remain underexplored. Long-range temporal correlations (LRTCs) in blood oxygenation level-dependent signals indicate persistence in brain activity patterns and may relate to learning and levels of depression. This observational study investigates blood oxygenation level-dependent LRTC changes alongside therapy-induced language and mood improvements in perisylvian and domain-general brain areas.

Unlabelled: Leptomeningeal metastasis (LM) is a severe complication of solid malignancies, including lung adenocarcinoma, characterized by poor prognosis and diagnostic challenges. This study assesses whether curvilinear peri-brainstem hyperintense signals on MRI are a characteristic feature of LM in lung adenocarcinoma patients.

Methods: This retrospective study analyzed data from multiple centers, encompassing lung adenocarcinoma patients with peri-brainstem curvilinear hyperintense signals on MRI between January 2016 and March 2022.

Parasagittal dural space and arachnoid granulations morphology in pre-clinical and early clinical multiple sclerosis.

Mult Scler

September 2025

Neuroimaging Unit, Neuroimmunology Division, Department of Neurology, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, TN, USA; Department of Neurology, VA Medical Center, TN Valley Healthcare System, Nashville, TN, USA.

Background: There is limited knowledge on the post-glymphatic structures such as the parasagittal dural (PSD) space and the arachnoid granulations (AGs) in multiple sclerosis (MS).

Objectives: To evaluate differences in volume and macromolecular content of PSD and AG between people with newly diagnosed MS (pwMS), clinically isolated syndrome (pwCIS), or radiologically isolated syndrome (pwRIS) and healthy controls (HCs) and their associations with clinical and radiological disease measures.

Methods: A total of 69 pwMS, pwCIS, pwRIS, and HCs underwent a 3.

Perinatal Arterial Ischemic Stroke in Monochorionic Twins: A Retrospective Observational Single-Center Cohort Study.

Stroke

September 2025

Division of Neonatology, Department of Pediatrics, Willem-Alexander Children's Hospital, Leiden University Medical Center, the Netherlands. (B.O.v.O., M.R., M.S.S., E.L., L.S.d.V., S.J.S.).

Background: Monochorionic twins, characterized by placental sharing and vascular anastomoses, carry a high risk of brain injury, including perinatal arterial ischemic stroke (PAIS). However, the pathophysiology and timing-related risk factors of PAIS remain unclear.

Methods: Retrospective cohort of all monochorionic twins with neuroimaging-confirmed PAIS born from 2005 to 2024 and evaluated at a Dutch national referral center.
