Group 1 innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) encompass NK cells and ILC1s, which have non-redundant roles in host protection against pathogens and cancer. Despite their circulating nature, NK cells can establish residency in selected tissues during ontogeny, forming a distinct functional subset. The mechanisms that initiate, maintain, and regulate the conversion of NK cells into tissue-resident NK (trNK) cells are currently not well understood.

Article Synopsis
  • Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a genetic disorder that can cause various health issues, including cognitive impairments, which are not well-studied in adults; this research focused on evaluating these cognitive issues in adults with NF1.* -
  • The study involved 103 NF1 adults and 38 control participants, utilizing a range of neurocognitive tests and a self-report questionnaire to analyze various cognitive functions including intelligence, memory, attention, and executive functions.* -
  • Results revealed that adults with NF1 experience significant impairments, particularly in areas like intelligence and visual memory, while some cognitive functions remained intact, suggesting a specific pattern of cognitive deficits rather than a widespread impairment.*

Craniosynostosis constitutes one of the most common congenital cranial malformations, affecting approximately 6/10,0000 live births. A genetic etiology has long been known for several forms of syndromic craniosynostosis, including pathogenic variants in TWIST1 and FGFR3 in children with Saethre-Chotzen and Muenke syndrome. Over the last decade, reports of genetic aberrations in TCF12 in children with craniosynostosis have emerged, in particular in cases with premature closure of the coronal suture(s).
