Spatially restricted and ontogenically distinct hepatic macrophages are required for tissue repair.

Our understanding of the functional heterogeneity of resident versus recruited macrophages in the diseased liver is limited. A population of recruited lipid-associated macrophages (LAMs) has been reported to populate the diseased liver alongside resident Kupffer cells (KCs). However, the precise roles of these distinct macrophage subsets remain elusive.

Understanding Multi-Level Factors Impacting Digital Health Literacy in the Deep South of the United States.

As healthcare and health services become increasingly digitized, individuals with low digital health literacy (DHL) may experience inequitable care and outcomes. We explored factors impacting DHL and recommendations for improvement from community health coordinators and advisors (CHAs) in Alabama and Mississippi in United States. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with CHAs to gather insights on their perspectives on and experiences with DHL.

Control of striatal circuit development by the chromatin regulator .

The pathophysiology of neurodevelopmental disorders involves vulnerable neural populations, including striatal circuitry, and convergent molecular nodes, including chromatin regulation and synapse function. Despite this, how epigenetic regulation regulates striatal development is understudied. Recurrent de novo mutations in are associated with intellectual disability and autism.

Ocular toxicity, distribution, and shedding of intravitreal AAV-eqIL-10 in horses.

Non-infectious uveitis (NIU) is a painful recurrent disease affecting 2%-5% of horses. Current treatments require frequent administration with associated adverse events. In a previous study, intravitreal (IVT) adeno-associated virus (AAV) harboring equine interleukin-10 (eqIL-10) cDNA inhibited experimental uveitis in rats.

Qualitative Study of Health Care Team Perception of the Benefits and Limitations of Remote Symptom Monitoring.

Purpose: Remote symptom monitoring (RSM) using electronic patient-reported outcomes (ePROS) connects patients and health care teams between appointments. Patient-perceived benefits and drawbacks of RSM are well-known, but health care team members' perceptions are less clear.

Methods: Health care team members from the University of Alabama at Birmingham and the University of South Alabama Health Mitchell Cancer Institute participated in semi-structured qualitative interviews to explore their experiences and perspectives on RSM benefits and limitations.
