Beginning in 2019, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) prioritized improving access to care nationally to deliver virtual care and implemented 18 regionally based Clinical Resource Hubs (CRHs) to meet this priority. This observational study describes the quantity and types of care delivered by CRH Mental Health teams, and the professions of those hired to deliver it. A retrospective cohort study, based on national VA CRH mental health care utilization data and CRH staffing data for CRH's first 3 years, was conducted.

- Plasma membrane-associated platforms (PMAPs) form in specific areas of the plasma membrane through scaffolds like ERC1 and Liprin-α1, and their assembly affects cell movement and invasion.
- Silencing the kinase DYRK3 in invasive breast cancer cells reduces their motility and capacity to invade, while increasing DYRK3 levels also impacts movement negatively.
- DYRK3 overexpression leads to less stable lamellipodia by increasing phosphorylation of Liprin-α1, indicating that a balance between DYRK3 and Liprin-α1 is necessary for cell stability and movement in tumors.
The self-assembly of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) into thin films at the liquid-liquid interface has promising applications in industries such as catalysis, optics, and sensors. However, precise control over their formation is complex, influenced by several factors which scale differently with core size. Due to their small free energy of adsorption, there are few examples of AuNPs with core diameters <10 nm.

In a national survey, we asked primary care providers and staff to rate specific care processes as access management challenges and assessed whether clinics with more of these challenges had worse access outcomes.
Methods: Study design: Cross sectional.
