"Sorry, I Didn't Mean to Kiss at You": A Descriptive Analysis of Tourette Syndrome in Interpersonal Interactions.

Recent research has begun to explore the specific social challenges experienced by persons with Tourette syndrome (TS); however, it does not specifically address the challenges that often arise interpersonally as part of people's communicative interactions and these interactions socially construct the individual and collective well-being of all involved. This study conducted semi-structured interviews with 18 adults who identified as having TS in order to investigate the ways in which others respond behaviorally to TS behaviors and the ways TS behaviors are misinterpreted within interpersonal interactions. Thematic analysis was used to identify themes common within participant responses.

Don't give up when communication is difficult: Online well-being advice for caregivers of people with Alzheimer's and dementia.

Sixteen million people in the United States are unpaid caregivers to people with Alzheimer's or dementia. Although caregiver investment is associated with personal and relational benefits, there are also emotional, mental, relational, and physical costs. This study explores online well-being advice for nonprofessional caregivers of people with Alzheimer's and dementia, resulting in 332 online resources that offer informational support for nonprofessional caregivers.

Multi-functional roles for the polypeptide transport associated domains of Toc75 in chloroplast protein import.

Toc75 plays a central role in chloroplast biogenesis in plants as the membrane channel of the protein import translocon at the outer envelope of chloroplasts (TOC). Toc75 is a member of the Omp85 family of bacterial and organellar membrane insertases, characterized by N-terminal POTRA (polypeptide-transport associated) domains and C-terminal membrane-integrated β-barrels. We demonstrate that the Toc75 POTRA domains are essential for protein import and contribute to interactions with TOC receptors, thereby coupling preprotein recognition at the chloroplast surface with membrane translocation.
