Background: Poverty can have significant impacts on health and wellbeing. However, asking patients about their broader socio-economic circumstances is not routine within primary care consultations.
Aim: To understand healthcare professionals' experiences of communicating with patients about their socio-economic circumstances and how a bespoke training programme supported these conversations in routine consultations.
Background: Children and young people (CYP) in care experience poorer physical health and overall wellbeing in comparison to their peers. Despite this, relatively little is known about what their oral health needs and behaviours are. The aim of this scoping review was to provide a global perspective on the oral health status and behaviours of CYP in care and care leavers.

As required for registration, we developed empirical data on the host-virus interaction and the virus's host range, survival, spread, and genomic sequence.
Results: TMGMV-U2 killed TSA plants by causing systemic hypersensitive necrosis (SHN).
Cellular senescence is a well-established driver of aging and age-related diseases. There are many challenges to mapping senescent cells in tissues such as the absence of specific markers and their relatively low abundance and vast heterogeneity. Single-cell technologies have allowed unprecedented characterization of senescence; however, many methodologies fail to provide spatial insights.
