Article Synopsis
- Biomedicine is moving towards decentralized data collection, which improves reproducibility and collaboration across labs.
- A study evaluated biocytometry, a method using engineered bioparticles, and found it effective for counting target cells at low concentrations, even with varying user expertise.
- The findings suggest that biocytometry is a practical option for immunophenotyping, allowing for sensitive and scalable analysis of rare cells in diverse samples without needing advanced training.
Social and economic position and power shape everyone, including scientists and researchers. The way researchers do conservation science and the voices centered in the process are a result of researcher upbringing, experiences, access to resources, and values and are a manifestation of positionality. Positionality is a concept that can help one think about one's position and power in one's work.

Two frequently used tools to estimate survival in patients with BM are the recursive partitioning analysis (RPA) and the diagnosis-specific graded prognostic assessment (DS-GPA). Given recent advances in therapies and improved survival for patients with BM, this study aims to validate and analyze these 2 models in a modern cohort.

Despite this awareness, challenges persist in bridging the gap between researchers and communities. Much of the current discourse focuses on addressing issues such as cultural humility and equitable partnerships.

- Palliative care (PC) enhances quality of life for patients with metastatic cancer by alleviating symptoms and aiding in advance care planning, but it is frequently misunderstood and underused.
- A study surveyed patients with metastatic spine tumors (MSTs) to explore barriers to understanding PC, comparing their responses with a broader population from the HINTS 5 database.
- The results showed that MST patients had a better grasp of PC than the general public but over 25% still lacked understanding, indicating a need for improved education about PC and its distinction from hospice care.
