Collaboration among various professions often faces barriers owing to divergent perspectives, priorities, and expertise shaped by distinct socialization processes. These differences can hinder effectiveness, efficiency, and workforce well-being. The Extended Professional Identity Theory (EPIT) addresses this issue by fostering an interprofessional identity without weakening professional identities.

- The study investigates how primary and social care professionals view interprofessional collaboration (IPC) in addressing malnutrition and sarcopenia among older adults living in the community.
- The qualitative research involved online focus groups that revealed key areas of focus, including the need for smooth information exchange, regular consultations, and better involvement of older adults in IPC.
- The findings suggest that effective IPC relies on a strong synergy between healthcare professionals, supportive infrastructure, and active participation from older adults to be successful.
Article Synopsis
- Research using the Extended Professional Identity Theory (EPIT) has positively linked interprofessional identity to collaboration and improved team outcomes, but no Turkish version of the measuring tool, the Extended Professional Identity Scale (EPIS), existed.
- This study aimed to create and validate the Turkish EPIS (EPIS-TR) by adapting it linguistically and testing its psychometric properties with 405 students from eight professions across four Turkish universities.
- The EPIS-TR demonstrated strong psychometric properties, with good reliability (internal consistency of .93) and construct validity, indicating it is effective in measuring interprofessional identity among various professions.
Adrenergic receptors (ARs) are preferentially expressed by innate lymphocytes such as natural killer (NK) cells. Here, we study the effect of epinephrine-mediated stimulation of the β2-adrenergic receptor (β2AR) on the function of human NK cells. Epinephrine stimulation inhibited early NK cell signaling events and blocked the function of the integrin LFA-1.

Recently, methods using CRISPR-Cas have created gene-edited maize DH populations, albeit with relatively low editing frequencies. Restoring fertility via haploid chromosome doubling remains a critically important production constraint.
