Background: Youth of color are disproportionately subjected to negative formal and informal labels by parents, peers, and teachers. This study examined the consequences of such labels on health-protective behaviors, wellbeing, peer networks and school engagement.
Methods: In-depth interviews were conducted with 39 adolescents and 20 mothers from a predominantly Latinx and immigrant agricultural community in California.
Article Synopsis
- Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) measure harmful stress in kids, but don’t fully cover issues like racism and immigration that Latinx youth face.
- A study was done with mothers of teens in a farming community to learn more about what helps or harms their kids' growth.
- Moms reported challenges like unstable housing and community violence, plus extra stress from racism and family separations due to immigration, but they also shared ways to support their children through these tough times.
The pathophysiology of epilepsy underlies a complex network dysfunction between neurons and glia, the molecular cell type-specific contributions of which remain poorly defined in the human disease. In this study, we validated a method that simultaneously isolates neuronal (NEUN +), astrocyte (PAX6 + NEUN-), and oligodendroglial progenitor (OPC) (OLIG2 + NEUN-) enriched nuclei populations from non-diseased, fresh-frozen human neocortex and then applied it to characterize the distinct transcriptomes of such populations isolated from electrode-mapped temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) surgical samples. Nuclear RNA-seq confirmed cell type specificity and informed both common and distinct pathways associated with TLE in astrocytes, OPCs, and neurons.
