John Wooden, the legendary University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) basketball coach, consistently emphasized the distinction between winning and true success. For Wooden, success was not about defeating others or standing out in a competition but about personal growth, self-improvement, and the pursuit of excellence. His philosophy offers a powerful lesson, particularly for educators, as they guide students through their academic journeys.

- The text discusses a protozoan parasite that causes giardiasis, leading to symptoms like abdominal pain and diarrhea, primarily due to its ability to change surface proteins and evade the host's immune response.
- High-resolution scanning microscopy revealed the formation of tunneling-nanotube-like structures on the parasite's surface, particularly when exposed to antibodies against its surface proteins.
- These nanotubes play a role in communication, both among the parasites and with host cells, indicating a complex interaction in the gut environment.
Caspase recruitment domain family member 14 (CARD14) and its variants are associated with both atopic dermatitis (AD) and psoriasis, but their mechanistic impact on skin barrier homeostasis is largely unknown. CARD14 is known to signal via NF-κB; however, CARD14-NF-κB signaling does not fully explain the heterogeneity of CARD14-driven disease. Here, we describe a direct interaction between CARD14 and MYC and show that CARD14 signals through MYC in keratinocytes to coordinate skin barrier homeostasis.
