People who use drugs show a higher incidence and prevalence of tuberculosis than people who do not use drugs in areas where Mycobacterium tuberculosis is endemic. However, this population is largely neglected in national tuberculosis programmes. Strategies for active case finding, screening, and linkage to care designed for the general population are not adapted to the needs of people who use drugs, who are stigmatised and difficult to reach.

Lineage tracing methods have extensively advanced our understanding of physiological cell behaviour in vivo and in situ and have vastly contributed to decipher the phylogeny and cellular hierarchies during normal and tumour development. In recent years, increasingly complex systems have been developed to track thousands of cells within a given tissue or even entire organisms. Cellular barcoding comprises all techniques designed to genetically label single cells with unique DNA sequences or with a combination of fluorescent proteins, in order to trace their history and lineage production in space and time.

Various parameters must be taken into consideration when assessing the durability of oral splints in a wet environment, such as the mouth. The aim of this in vitro study was to assess the wear behavior and water sorption of two 3D-printed splint materials depending on their building orientation and post-processing parameters.
