Introducing LADER: A Structured Approach to Effective Professional Interactions for Behavior Analysts.

Applied behavior analysis (ABA) is a human service profession using the science of behaviorism to promote meaningful changes in the lives of clients. However, misconceptions, misunderstandings, and false information have plagued our field since its inception and challenge the efficacy of our continued dissemination efforts. Effective science communication skills, especially for fields with a highly technical language such as ABA, promote marked improvements in client outcomes.

Immunohistochemical and transcriptomic characterization of T and myeloid cell infiltrates in canine malignant melanoma.

Immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy can provide significant clinical benefit in patients with certain cancer types including melanoma; however, objective responses are only observed for a subset of patients. Mucosal melanoma is a rare melanoma subtype associated with a poor prognosis and, compared with cutaneous melanoma, is significantly less responsive to immune checkpoint inhibitors. Spontaneous canine tumours have emerged as valuable models to inform human cancer studies.

Leukemic mutation FLT3-ITD is retained in dendritic cells and disrupts their homeostasis leading to expanded Th17 frequency.

Dendritic cells (DC) are mediators between innate and adaptive immune responses to pathogens and tumors. DC development is determined by signaling through the receptor tyrosine kinase Fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) in bone marrow myeloid progenitors. Recently the naming conventions for DC phenotypes have been updated to distinguish between "Conventional" DCs (cDCs) and plasmacytoid DCs (pDCs).

Evaluation of rAAVrh74 gene therapy vector seroprevalence by measurement of total binding antibodies in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

Background: Adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors are a promising platform for transfer of transgenes designed to treat diseases. Pre-existing humoral immunity to these vectors can potentially impact the safety and efficacy of gene therapies. Consequently, individuals with pre-existing antibodies to the specific AAV serotypes used may be excluded from clinical trials and treatments.
