Selectively stopping individual parts of planned or ongoing movements is an everyday motor skill. For example, while walking in public you may stop yourself from waving at a stranger who you mistook for a friend while continuing to walk. Despite its ubiquity, our ability to selectively stop actions is limited.

Introduction The challenges of recruitment and retention of dentists within the NHS are a major contributory factor in delivering dental access. Availability and geographical location of dental foundation training (DFT) placements is considered to be an important element in recruiting new dental graduates to poorly served areas. A recent decline in the number of dentists applying to act as educational supervisors (ESs) for DFT has been observed, which could have a direct impact on the future sustainability of NHS services.

Epithelial cancers are typically heterogeneous with primary prostate cancer being a typical example of histological and genomic variation. Prior studies of primary prostate cancer tumour genetics revealed extensive inter and intra-patient genomic tumour heterogeneity. Recent advances in machine learning have enabled the inference of ground-truth genomic single-nucleotide and copy number variant status from transcript data.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study focused on the mental health and wellbeing of dental practice managers and receptionists in the UK, aiming to highlight their challenges and inform future research.
  • - An online questionnaire collected data on burnout, depression, trauma, and preparedness for care, revealing high levels of negative psychosocial effects among participants.
  • - Key stressors included workplace pressure, difficult relationships, and lack of recognition, which negatively impact health and could compromise the quality of care provided.

Article Synopsis
  • Prostate cancer treatment resistance is a major challenge, with genomic studies revealing how cancer cells evade therapies, yet the tumor microenvironment's (TME) role remains unclear.
  • A study using advanced techniques on samples from 120 patients offers a detailed transcriptomic profile of the prostate TME throughout the treatment process.
  • The research highlights a unique cell type called club-like cells that interact with the immune system, suggesting their involvement in inflammation and resistance to androgen deprivation therapy, indicating they could be potential targets for new treatments.
