This qualitative study examined what service providers working in supportive housing and Housing First programs in Canada identify as the programmatic and organizational factors that affect the prevention and management of high-risk behaviours and challenges (e.

Glial cells have a remarkable plasticity. Recent studies using zebrafish as a model highlight conserved cellular behavior in health and disease in the central nervous system (CNS) between zebrafish and humans. These findings inform our understanding of their function and how their dysregulation in pathogenesis can be determinant.

Article Synopsis
  • The peripheral nervous system can regenerate after nerve damage, but achieving full functional recovery is rare and heavily relies on Schwann cells, which help repair nerve damage and support axon regrowth.
  • New research reveals that nerve injury stimulates communication between fat cells and glial cells, with the adipokine leptin playing a crucial role in helping Schwann cells adapt metabolically during recovery.
  • Leptin receptors in Schwann cells help regulate energy processes needed for nerve repair, suggesting that targeting this intercellular communication could improve therapeutic strategies for nerve injuries.

Objective: The Clubhouse model of psychosocial rehabilitation supports the personal recovery of individuals with severe mental health challenges. To date, there has never been a multisite, longitudinal study examining the outcomes of Clubhouse members in Canada. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to longitudinally assess the psychosocial outcomes and hospitalization rates of Clubhouse members from six Clubhouses across Canada.
