Inhibition of an ESI1 target promotes oligodendrocyte myelin production in mice, as shown as a dense curtain of green strands. This small molecule shows early promise as a potential treatment for MS, and to manage aging-related nerve sheath deterioration, according to study led by experts at Cincinnati Children's.

This phase curve, captured by the MIRI low resolution spectrometer on NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, shows the change in brightness of the WASP-43 system over time as the planet orbits its star. The system appears brightest when the hot dayside of the planet is facing the telescope, just before and after it passes behind the star. The system grows dimmer as the planet continues its orbits and the nightside rotates into view. It brightens again after passing in front of the star as the dayside rotates back into view. WASP-43 b is a hot Jupiter roughly 280 light-years away, in the constellation Sextans.

What I've seen is fiber optic cables (small) that are inserted via the nostril. This is for brain stimulation. I'd guess something similar for the gut. Here's a picture of one contraption: https://www.lucidaging.com/alzheimers-research
