Background: The interaction between mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) and Glioblastoma (GBM), although potentially of the highest importance, is ill-understood. This is due, in part, to the lack of relevant experimental models. The similarity between the in vitro situations and the in vivo situation can be improved by 3D co-culture as it reproduces key cell-cell interactions between the tumor microenvironment (TME) and cancer cells.

- This study examined the neural connections associated with depressive and negative symptoms in schizophrenia spectrum disorders using data from neuroimaging and a trial of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS).
- By analyzing the data, three distinct functional brain circuitry patterns were identified that correspond to different symptom profiles: a general depressive factor, a factor for negative symptoms, and a guilt-related depression factor.
- The findings highlight the complexity of these symptoms and suggest that rTMS can effectively reduce general depressive symptoms, but not those specifically related to guilt or negative symptoms.
Professional tennis competition at the highest levels requires high physical, technical, tactical, and mental demands. Player retirement is a scenario that often occurs at the highest echelons of the game. The objective of this study was to descriptively determine which factors influence retirement of matches in tennis.
