Smart pens, styluses, e-ink notebooks and more; the world of digital writing is getting ever more sophisticated
The latest in digital writing tools, including the new reMarkable Type Folio, are both smart and sophisticated.We’ve raved about the reMarkable 2 before, but now there’s a new hardware accessory for the dedicated writing pad that not only expands its functionality but threatens to derail the whole remarkable ethos altogether. Type Folio is a slender keyboard that brings the ability to type directly into a reMarkable ‘notebook’.
The new keyboard folds away when not in use and clips out in landscape mode to create a sort of low-tech laptop appearance. A lower setting is great for sketching or reading. It adds a couple of millimetres of thickness and a fair amount of weight to the ultra-thin device – far more so than the regular Folio. While you could add text into a notebook before using the onscreen keyboard, it was a world away from actually typing.
One immediate positive is the way the tablet gives you laser-like focus on the words on the page – no internet to distract, no other windows to open, no apps to intrude. Large chunks of text can be whipped up in no time and then edited on a more conventional machine. Unfortunately, you can’t grab text from an exported pdf, but you can cut and paste from the reMarkable app.
The downsides? The reMarkable 2’s distraction-free simplicity is a feature, not a failure. Unlike Android-based e-ink tablets, it really does encourage you to use it like a regular notepad. Type Folio extends this functionality without being too overbearing. It’s a rudimentary word processing experience, but all the better for it.

Immunoregulatory Biomarkers of the Remission Phase in Type 1 Diabetes: miR-30d-5p Modulates PD-1 Expression and Regulatory T Cell ExpansionThe partial remission (PR) phase of type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an underexplored period characterized by endogenous insulin production and downmodulated autoimmunity. To comprehend the mechanisms behind this transitory phase and develop precision medicine strategies, biomarker discovery and patient stratification are unmet needs. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small RNA molecules that negatively regulate gene expression and modulate several biological processes, functioning as biomarkers for many diseases. Here, we identify and validate a unique miRNA signature during PR in pediatric patients with T1D by employing small RNA sequencing and RT-qPCR. These miRNAs were mainly related to the immune system, metabolism, stress, and apoptosis pathways. The implication in autoimmunity of the most dysregulated miRNA, miR-30d-5p, was evaluated in vivo in the non-obese diabetic mouse. MiR-30d-5p inhibition resulted in increased regulatory T cell percentages in the pancreatic lymph nodes together with a higher expression of CD200. In the spleen, a decrease in PD-1+ T lymphocytes and reduced PDCD1 expression were observed. Moreover, miR-30d-5p inhibition led to an increased islet leukocytic infiltrate and changes in both effector and memory T lymphocytes. In conclusion, the miRNA signature found during PR shows new putative biomarkers and highlights the immunomodulatory role of miR-30d-5p, elucidating the processes driving this phase.
