Article Synopsis
  • - Diverse cellular stresses activate heat shock factor 1 (HSF1), which helps manage protein stability and has broader roles in promoting cancer, but its effects on immune cells in tumors are not well understood.
  • - Research using a model of HSF1 activation shows that heightened HSF1 activity in natural killer (NK) cells negatively affects their ability to kill tumors and produce cytokines for immune response.
  • - HSF1 directly influences the expression of important factors for NK cell function, suggesting that understanding its role could improve therapies using NK cells to fight cancer and lead to better treatment combinations.

Unlabelled: Clonal hematopoiesis (CH) is an aging-associated condition characterized by the clonal outgrowth of mutated preleukemic cells. Individuals with CH are at an increased risk of developing hematopoietic malignancies. Here, we describe a novel animal model carrying a recurrent TET2 missense mutation frequently found in patients with CH and leukemia.

Introduction: Despite the rapid advance of psychedelic science and possible translation of psychedelic therapy into the psychiatric clinic, very little is known about mental health service user attitudes.

Objectives: To explore mental health service user attitudes to psychedelics and psilocybin therapy.

Methods: A questionnaire capturing demographics, diagnoses, previous psychedelic and other drug use, and attitudes to psychedelics and psilocybin therapy was distributed to mental health service users.

The response to systemic infection and injury requires the rapid adaptation of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), which proliferate and divert their differentiation toward the myeloid lineage. Significant interest has emerged in understanding the signals that trigger the emergency hematopoietic program. However, the mechanisms that halt this response of HSCs, which is critical to restore homeostasis, remain unknown.
