Roof renewal disparities widen the equity gap in residential wildfire protection.

Wildfires are having disproportionate impacts on U.S. households.

The Longer, the Better: Continuous Glucose Monitoring Use for ≥90% Is Superior to 70%-89% in Achieving Tighter Glycemic Outcomes in Children with Type 1 Diabetes.

The recommended threshold for the time spent on continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) is established at 70%. However, glucose outcomes in children with type 1 diabetes (CwD) using CGM for a different proportion of time within this threshold have not been evaluated yet. The study aims to compare glycemic parameters among CwD who spent 70%-89% and ≥90% on CGM using the population-wide data from the Czech national pediatric diabetes registry ČENDA.

CRISPR-Cas9-mediated genome editing delivered by a single AAV9 vector inhibits HSV-1 reactivation in a latent rabbit keratitis model.

Herpes simples virus 1 (HSV-1) keratitis is a major cause of blindness globally. During primary infection, HSV-1 travels to the trigeminal ganglia and establishes lifelong latency. Although some treatments can reduce symptom severity and recurrence, there is no cure for HSV-1 keratitis.

An allosteric inhibitor of RhoGAP class-IX myosins suppresses the metastatic features of cancer cells.

Aberrant Ras homologous (Rho) GTPase signalling is a major driver of cancer metastasis, and GTPase-activating proteins (GAPs), the negative regulators of RhoGTPases, are considered promising targets for suppressing metastasis, yet drug discovery efforts have remained elusive. Here, we report the identification and characterization of adhibin, a synthetic allosteric inhibitor of RhoGAP class-IX myosins that abrogates ATPase and motor function, suppressing RhoGTPase-mediated modes of cancer cell metastasis. In human and murine adenocarcinoma and melanoma cell models, including three-dimensional spheroid cultures, we reveal anti-migratory and anti-adhesive properties of adhibin that originate from local disturbances in RhoA/ROCK-regulated signalling, affecting actin-dynamics and actomyosin-based cell-contractility.

Examining the association between trenbolone, psychological distress, and aggression among males who use anabolic-androgenic steroids.

Introduction: The link between anabolic-androgenic steroid (AAS) use and psychosocial effects such as aggression and violence is contentious. Few studies differentiate between types of AAS. This study focuses on trenbolone to assess its psychological risks and effects on aggression compared to other AAS.
