  • Mumps virus (MuV) is still active globally despite high vaccination rates, and its early cellular targets in the body are unclear.
  • Researchers developed a GFP-tagged MuV strain to investigate which immune cells are most affected, finding that monocytes are particularly susceptible to infection.
  • In studies with mice and human cells, alveolar macrophages were identified as key targets for MuV, indicating their role in the virus's early pathogenesis and spread in the body.

Background: Clinical genetic evaluation of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is implemented variably or not at all. Identifying needs and barriers to genetic evaluations will enable strategies to enhance precision medicine care.

Methods: An online survey was conducted in June 2024 among cardiologist investigators of the DCM Consortium from US advanced heart failure/transplant (HF/TX) programs to collect demographics, training, program characteristics, genetic evaluation practices for DCM, and implementation needs.

Cumulative research finds that exposure to childhood trauma, sleep dysfunction, and high stress levels are prevalent in youth diagnosed with and at-risk for psychotic disorders. However, few studies have investigated the association between nightly sleep and moment-to-moment stress in youth who are at familial high-risk (FHR) for psychotic disorders with varying levels of exposure to childhood trauma. The current study examined the day-to-day associations between trauma severity, nightly sleep duration, and next-day momentary stress in 19 FHR and 19 non-psychiatric youth (ages 13-19 years, 66 % girls).
