Antigen reactivity defines tissue-resident memory and exhausted T cells in tumors

CD8+ T cells are an important weapon in the therapeutic armamentarium against cancer. While CD8+CD103+ T cells with a tissue-resident memory T (TRM) cell phenotype are associated with favorable prognoses, the tumor microenvironment also contains dysfunctional exhausted T (TEX) cells that exhibit a variety of TRM-like features.

Reduction of Charged Glycoconjugates in Tango2 KO Mouse Brain

The transport and Golgi organization 2 (TANGO2) gene has been identified to cause a rare recessive genetic disorder known as TANGO2-deficiency disorder (TDD). TDD is a multi-systemic disorder that can affect different organs including the brain, heart, and muscles, presenting as recurrent metabolic crises, muscle weakness, and neurological symptoms including developmental delay and seizures. 

The definition of asthma remission in children: A scoping review by the WAO Paediatric Asthma Committee

Asthma remission has emerged as a potential therapeutic goal. However, definitions of remission have primarily focused on adult populations, with limited consensus on how remission should be defined in children.

Young children with cystic fibrosis and tracheobronchomalacia have longer and more frequent hospital admissions

Tracheobronchomalacia (TBM) is characterised by abnormal collapsibility of the trachea and bronchi, often seen in children with cystic fibrosis (CF). This study aims to determine the impact of TBM on hospital admissions in young children with CF.

Insights from a trial of narrowband UVB for early multiple sclerosis

There is a greater prevalence of multiple sclerosis (MS), a neurological autoimmune condition, in populations living further from the equator, hypothesised to be due to reduced sunlight exposure. There exists a proven sunlight surrogate therapy for dermatological inflammatory conditions, in the form of narrowband NB-UVB phototherapy. Yet, there is a paucity of randomized trials of the therapeutic delivery of NB-UVB beyond dermatology for conditions with a systemic inflammatory component. 

Population Approaches to Promoting Relational Health From Early Life

In this paper we provide an integrative synthesis of eight systematic reviews that compromise our systematic review series entitled ‘Population Perspectives on Nurturing Relational Health from Early Life’. We reflect on what we know, what we don’t know, and what we need to know to better safeguard the interpersonal world of the child.

Social Identification as a Predictor of Mental Health and Wellbeing: Could Men’s Sheds Be a Potential “Social Cure” for Older Men?

Men’s Sheds offer promising sites for unique health promotion opportunities, and while prior work has identified potential mechanisms that may support wellbeing, these mechanisms are yet to be empirically clarified in the Men’s Shed context. This study investigated the relationships between engagement in Men’s Sheds, social identification, social connectedness, social support, and wellbeing outcomes in Men’s Shed members in Western Australia.

Prospective effects of positive resilience resources during young adulthood: Predicting daily stress responses three years later amidst a changing world

With young adults' rates of mental health problems alarmingly high, understanding resilience characteristics that help young people adapt, adjust, and even thrive in the face of stress is a pressing need. This study takes a daily diary approach, examining four resilience factors, measured a priori, covering multiple domains. Young adults' daily stress responses (reactivity, recovery, inertia) during the globally stressful lockdown period three years later were then explored as key outcomes.

Cultural, ethical, legal, and social considerations in genomics research with Indigenous Peoples: A scoping review

Indigenous communities are under-represented in genomics research, contributing to inequitable health-related knowledge, outcomes, and benefits. Under-representation reflects enduring consequences of colonial research practices that have engendered cultural, ethical, legal, and social (CELS) concerns among communities. 

Efficacy of Interventions Adhering to the Revised Ayres Sensory Integration® Fidelity Measure: A Systematic Review

Sensory integration therapy is used widely despite an inconsistent evidence base. To overcome the limited availability of high-quality research, Ayres Sensory Integration (ASI) was manualized and a revised fidelity measure was developed following the identification of the principles of ASI®. The aim of this systematic review is to examine the proximal and distal effects of interventions in studies that explicitly reported the use of or adherence to the process elements of the fidelity measure.
