Neurons use cell-adhesion molecules (CAMs) to interact with other neurons and the extracellular environment: the combination of CAMs specifies migration patterns, neuronal morphologies, and synaptic connections across diverse neuron types. Yet little is known regarding the intracellular signaling cascade mediating the CAM recognitions at the cell surface across different neuron types. In this study, we investigated the neural developmental role of Afadin, a cytosolic adapter protein that connects multiple CAM families to intracellular F-actin.

Article Synopsis
  • A study in Nigeria examined primary healthcare workers' knowledge and perception of mpox, noting limited research on the topic despite rising cases from 2017 to 2022.
  • The survey assessed knowledge across various areas, revealing that while 78.3% were aware of mpox, understanding of its transmission was notably low, especially in Lagos compared to other regions.
  • Most healthcare workers recognized that mpox could affect anyone, but nearly half felt that they couldn't protect themselves from it, highlighting gaps in knowledge and perceived vulnerability.

Background: Current undergraduate nursing students represent diverse backgrounds. Many students enter nursing school with a personal history of trauma. This project sought to identify trauma-sensitive teaching strategies (TSTS) that nurse educators can use in the clinical setting to support students who have been affected by trauma succeed in high-stress clinical environments.

Background: Many adults do not meet physical activity recommendations for optimal health, and this is often because people find it difficult to maintain physical activity in the long term. This study focuses on identifying and synthesising factors that may influence the maintenance of physical activity in adults with and without known health conditions.

Method: A systematic review and qualitative synthesis using thematic analysis was conducted.
