Implementing the service-learning methodology in nursing education: A case study.

Introduction: Nurses play a crucial role in global health promotion, and innovative teaching strategies are vital to addressing modern educational challenges. Service-learning, a credit-based approach, integrates community service with academic learning, enhancing students' understanding of course content while fostering civic values. Although established in the United States of America and growing in Europe, most studies on service-learning focus on student learning outcomes, often overlooking its impact on the communities served.

The Role of GAB1 in Cancer.

GRB2-associated binder 1 (GAB1) is the inaugural member of the GAB/DOS family of pleckstrin homology (PH) domain-containing proteins. Upon receiving various stimuli, GAB1 transitions from the cytoplasm to the membrane where it is phosphorylated by a range of kinases. This event recruits SH2 domain-containing proteins like SHP2, PI3K's p85 subunit, CRK, and others, thereby activating distinct signaling pathways, including MAPK, PI3K/AKT, and JNK.

Intermediate molecular phenotypes to identify genetic markers of anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity risk.

Cardiotoxicity due to anthracyclines (CDA) affects cancer patients, but we cannot predict who may suffer from this complication. CDA is a complex disease whose polygenic component is mainly unidentified. We propose that levels of intermediate molecular phenotypes in the myocardium associated with histopathological damage could explain CDA susceptibility; so that variants of genes encoding these intermediate molecular phenotypes could identify patients susceptible to this complication.

Evolutionary Origins of Metabolic Reprogramming in Cancer.

Metabolic changes that facilitate tumor growth are one of the hallmarks of cancer. These changes are not specific to tumors but also take place during the physiological growth of tissues. Indeed, the cellular and tissue mechanisms present in the tumor have their physiological counterpart in the repair of tissue lesions and wound healing.
