Article Synopsis
- Primary atopic disorders are genetic immune conditions that lead to severe allergic responses, and studying these can help understand and potentially treat common allergic diseases.
- A specific mutation in the JAK1 gene causes severe allergic reactions and changes in blood cell development, as seen in studies using zebrafish and human stem cells.
- Treatment with the drug ruxolitinib in children with this JAK1 mutation significantly improved their growth and allergic symptoms, highlighting the importance of JAK1 in immune system regulation and therapy.
Background: The structure of a social network as well as peer behaviours are thought to affect personal substance use. Where substance use may create health risks, understanding the contribution of social networks to substance use may be valuable for the design and implementation of harm reduction or other interventions. We examined the social support network of people living in precarious housing in a socially marginalized neighborhood of Vancouver, and analysed associations between social network structure, personal substance use, and supporters' substance use.
