Photoreceptor metabolic window unveils eye–body interactions by Shaopeng Yang, Zhuoyao Xin, Weijing Cheng, Pingting Zhong, Riqian Liu, Ziyu Zhu, Lisa Zhuoting Zhu, Xianwen Shang, Shida Chen, Wenyong Huang, Lei Zhang, Wei Wang

“…Abstract Photoreceptors are specialized neurons at the core of the retina’s functionality, with optical accessibility and exceptional sensitivity to systemic metabolic stresses. Here we show the ability of risk-free, in vivo photoreceptor assessment as a window into systemic health and identify shared metabolic underpinnings of photoreceptor degeneration and multisystem health outcomes. …”

Stability Analysis of Fractional-Order Bidirectional Associative Memory Neural Networks with Mixed Time-Varying Delays by Zhanying Yang, Jie Zhang

“…This paper studies the stability analysis of fractional-order bidirectional associative memory neural networks with mixed time-varying delays. The orders of these systems lie in the interval 1,2. Firstly, a sufficient condition is derived to ensure the finite-time stability of systems by resorting to some analytical techniques and some elementary inequalities. …”
