Journal ArticleDOI
Piezoelectric single crystal ultrasonic transducers for biomedical applications
TL;DR: In this article, the state-of-the-art in piezoelectric single crystals for ultrasonic transducer applications is reviewed, and various biomedical applications including eye imaging, intravascular imaging, blood flow measurement, photoacoustic imaging and microbeam applications of the single crystal transducers are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ultrasonic Control of Neural Activity through Activation of the Mechanosensitive Channel MscL
Jia Ye,Siyang Tang,Long Meng,Xia Li,Xiaoxu Wen,Sihan Chen,Lili Niu,Xiang-Yao Li,Weibao Qiu,Hailan Hu,Mizu Jiang,Shiqiang Shang,Qiang shu,Hairong Zheng,Shumin Duan,Yuezhou Li +15 more
TL;DR: Because MscL opens to tension in the lipid bilayer, requiring no other proteins or ligands, it could be developed into a general noninvasive sonogenetic tool to manipulate the activities of neurons or other cells and potential nanodevices.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Mechanosensitive Ion Channel Piezo1 Significantly Mediates In Vitro Ultrasonic Stimulation of Neurons.
Zhihai Qiu,Jinghui Guo,Jinghui Guo,Shashwati Kala,Jiejun Zhu,Quanxiang Xian,Weibao Qiu,Guofeng Li,Ting Zhu,Long Meng,Rui Zhang,Hsiao Chang Chan,Hairong Zheng,Lei Sun +13 more
TL;DR: It is found that ultrasound alone could activate heterologous and endogenous Piezo1, initiating calcium influx and increased nuclear c-Fos expression in primary neurons but not when pre-treated with aPiezo1 inhibitor.
Journal ArticleDOI
Monitoring the Opening and Recovery of the Blood–Brain Barrier with Noninvasive Molecular Imaging by Biodegradable Ultrasmall Cu2–xSe Nanoparticles
Hao Zhang,Tingting Wang,Weibao Qiu,Yaobao Han,Qiao Sun,Jianfeng Zeng,Fei Yan,Hairong Zheng,Zhen Li,Mingyuan Gao +9 more
TL;DR: Dual-modal photoacoustic imaging and single-photon-emission computed tomography imaging based on ultrasmall Cu2- xSe nanoparticles were used to noninvasively monitor the opening and recovery of the blood-brain barrier induced by focused ultrasound in living mice and indicate that the accumulated Cu 2- x Se nanoparticles could be excreted from the brain and other major organs after 15 days without causing side effects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improved Anatomical Specificity of Non-invasive Neuro-stimulation by High Frequency (5 MHz) Ultrasound
Guofeng Li,Huixia Zhao,Hui Zhou,Fei Yan,Wang Jingyao,Chang-Xi Xu,Congzhi Wang,Lili Niu,Long Meng,Song Wu,Huailing Zhang,Weibao Qiu,Hairong Zheng +12 more
TL;DR: High frequency (5 MHz) ultrasound can successfully activate the brain circuits in mice and provides a smaller stimulation region, which offers improved anatomical specificity for neuro-stimulation in a non-invasive manner.
