Colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1R) inhibitors, such as PLX5622 and PLX3397 (pexidartinib), are widely used for in vivo microglial depletion and for investigating microglial functions and therapeutic potential. Although CSF1R inhibitor-based studies have uncovered important roles for microglia in processes, such as anesthesia, addiction, and obesity, whether the resulting phenotypes reflect microglial depletion alone...

Bionic underwater robots have many advantages such as high mobility, high efficiency, high affinity, etc. They are especially suitable for tasks such as collecting hydrographic information and for detailed surveys of the marine environment. These tasks are based on their high-precision attitude control. Therefore, this paper proposes a control scheme for a bionic underwater robot—a manta robot. To improve the depth retention c...
