Autoimmune destruction of pancreatic β cells results in type 1 diabetes (T1D), with pancreatic immune infiltrate representing a key feature in this process. Studies of human T1D immunobiology have predominantly focused on circulating immune cells in the blood, while mouse models suggest diabetogenic lymphocytes primarily reside in pancreas-draining lymph nodes (pLN). A comprehensive study of immune cells in human T1D was conducted using pancreas draining lymphatic tissues, including pLN and mesenteric lymph nodes, and the spleen from non-diabetic control, β cell autoantibody positive non-diabetic (AAb+), and T1D organ donors using complementary approaches of high parameter flow cytometry and CITEseq.

Article Synopsis
  • - Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a fatal disease affecting deer caused by prions, which can be transmitted through various means like feces, urine, and the environment, complicating management efforts.
  • - There's a lack of easy non-invasive tests to detect CWD in live animals, but recent research focuses on using dogs to identify the smell of CWD-infected animals through their feces.
  • - Successful training of dogs to discern the odors of infected versus non-infected deer offers a promising non-invasive method for monitoring CWD in both wild and farmed cervid populations.

Major depressive disorder (MDD) is the leading cause of disability worldwide, yet treatment selection still proceeds via "trial and error". Given the varied presentation of MDD and heterogeneity of treatment response, the use of machine learning to understand complex, non-linear relationships in data may be key for treatment personalization. Well-organized, structured data from clinical trials with standardized outcome measures is useful for training machine learning models; however, combining data across trials poses numerous challenges.

Background: Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a heterogeneous condition; multiple underlying neurobiological and behavioral substrates are associated with treatment response variability. Understanding the sources of this variability and predicting outcomes has been elusive. Machine learning (ML) shows promise in predicting treatment response in MDD, but its application is limited by challenges to the clinical interpretability of ML models, and clinicians often lack confidence in model results.
