Coastal estuaries globally, including the San Francisco Estuary (SFE), are experiencing significant degradation, often resulting in fisheries collapses. The SFE has undergone profound modifications due to population growth, industrialization, urbanization and increasing water exports for human use. These changes have significantly altered the aquatic ecosystem, favouring invasive species and becoming less hospitable to native species such as the longfin smelt ().

Older adults and people living with disabilities receive home- and community-based services (HCBS) from approximately 113,000 often under-resourced and inadequately supported direct service workers (e.g., personal care aides, direct support professionals, nurse aides) in North Carolina.

Article Synopsis
  • AJHP is publishing peer-reviewed, accepted manuscripts online quickly, but these versions are not finalized and will be updated later with proper formatting and author proofing.
  • The review focuses on nonhormone therapies for menopausal vasomotor symptoms, including new options like fezolinetant, which could benefit those who can't or choose not to use hormone therapy.
  • While these nonhormone treatments can provide mild to moderate symptom relief, fezolinetant shows significant effectiveness and requires further studies to evaluate its affordability and compare it to other treatments.

Article Synopsis
  • Cancer immunotherapy has transformed oncology, but immune responses are often suppressed in solid tumors, necessitating new strategies for enhancing immune activity.
  • Researchers focused on the co-stimulatory receptor NKG2D, abundant on CD8+ tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes in breast cancer, to develop bispecific antibodies (HER2-CRB) that target both NKG2D and HER2.
  • The HER2-CRB improved NK and T cell function, leading to increased antitumor activity when used with other antibodies, suggesting promising combinatorial potential for clinical trials.

Combinatorial signaling by proinflammatory cytokines synergizes to exacerbate toxicity to cells and tissue injury during acute infections. To explore synergism at the gene-regulatory level, we investigated the dynamics of transcription and chromatin signaling in response to dual cytokines by integrating nascent RNA imaging mass spectrometry, RNA sequencing, amplification-independent mRNA quantification, assay for transposase-accessible chromatin using sequencing (ATAC-seq), and transcription factor profiling. Costimulation with interferon-gamma (IFNγ) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) synergistically induced a small subset of genes, including the chemokines , -, and -.
