Article Synopsis
- Mouse models with humanized ACE2 and TMPRSS2 genes were created to study how Th1 and Th2 immune responses affect SARS-CoV-2 infection.
- Mice infected with the Delta variant required ACE2 for lung infection, while Omicron didn't, with Omicron causing more severe disease in specific mouse models.
- The study suggests that the genetic background of the host influences the immune response and severity of SARS-CoV-2 infections, highlighting the need for more research on this variability.
Article Synopsis
- Anxiety and depression are common in autistic adolescents and can be hard to diagnose due to factors like diagnostic overshadowing and heterogeneity.
- The study examined how distress tolerance and behavioral activation relate to anxiety and depressive symptoms in 100 verbally fluent autistic adolescents and their caregivers, highlighting the need for multiple perspectives in assessments.
- Preliminary results indicate that low levels of distress tolerance and behavioral activation are linked to more severe internalizing symptoms, suggesting these factors could guide more personalized treatment strategies, although the findings are still in the early stages.
Background: Quality of life is an important outcome to autistic individuals. However, the correlates of quality of life in this population are not well known. The purpose of this project was to investigate the extent to which employment, depression, anxiety, and social participation were associated with quality of life in autistic individuals.

The spinful linear band structure in two dimensions gives rise to distinctive topological properties, accompanied by the emergence of Fermi string edge states. We report the experimental realization of a 2D Weyl semimetal, bismuthene monolayer grown on SnS(Se) substrates.

- The manuscript outlines a mixed-methods case study examining data processes and challenges at trauma centers in rural Arkansas, focusing on how these issues impact registry data collection.
- Data collection involves interviews and observations of trauma registry staff, utilizing a think-aloud protocol for in-depth analysis of workflows and barriers related to data submission.
- The study aims to provide a baseline understanding of data collection practices and identify strengths, limitations, and interoperability barriers at different trauma centers across the state.
