A Cyber-Physical-Social System (CPSS) is an evolving subset of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), which involve the interlinking of the cyber, physical, and social domains within a system-of-systems mindset. CPSS is in a growing state, which combines secure digital technologies with physical systems (e.g.

Poor quality jobs, incorporating job demands, resources and rewards, can impact employees' health and wellbeing inside and outside work. However, jobs' changing nature and employees' increasingly diverse backgrounds mean existing job quality models may not adequately explain individuals' job quality experiences within their individual, organisational and societal contexts. The paper aimed to understand mothers, fathers and childless women and men's gendered, classed and aged experiences of quantitative job demands (including work amount, speed, effort, length and timing) and their resources and rewards, within multilevel contexts.

Background: The potential for vaccines to induce autoimmunity has been the subject of considerable investigation and autoimmune induction remains a common focus for vaccine safety research. This study assessed the risk of new onset autoimmune conditions among males receiving the 4-valent human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine (4vHPV).

Methods: Within a US health insurance claims database, we formed a cohort of male 4vHPV vaccine recipients between 2009 and 2016, along with a propensity score matched cohort of males who did not receive the 4vHPV vaccine.

Article Synopsis
  • A new method is introduced for creating 3'-fluorinated nucleoside analogues using aminocatalytic fluorination of 2'-ketonucleosides that are easy to handle.
  • The technique was initially aimed at producing 3'-fluoroguanosine (3'-FG), a component of the anticancer drug MK-1454, but has since been adapted to develop various 3'-fluoronucleosides.
  • This approach highlights the potential of 2'-ketonucleosides as a versatile foundation for further innovation in nucleoside analogues, suggesting broad applications in drug discovery.

Microglia, the brain's resident macrophages, shape neural development and are key neuroimmune hubs in the pathological signatures of neurodevelopmental disorders. Despite the importance of microglia, their development has not been carefully examined in the human brain, and most of our knowledge derives from rodents. We aimed to address this gap in knowledge by establishing an extensive collection of 97 post-mortem tissues in order to enable quantitative, sex-matched, detailed analysis of microglia across the human lifespan.
