Social prescribing is a model of care, usually in the community-setting, which aims to address people's unmet social needs. Volunteers support primary health care and community-based care in non-medical roles. However, few studies focus on volunteers in social prescribing, therefore, aimed to synthesize the effect of health or peer volunteer-led interventions on psychosocial and behavioural outcomes for middle-aged and older adults with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) to inform future work for volunteering in social prescribing.

Infection control measures for C. auris focus mainly on healthcare facilities, yet transmission levels may already be significant in the community before outbreaks are detected in healthcare settings.

- Bacterial chemotaxis is driven by a flagellar motor that rotates in both directions, and this process involves complex structures like the MS-ring and C-ring.
- Researchers used cryogenic electron microscopy to capture detailed images of these components in different rotational poses, revealing important conformational changes.
- The study suggests a mechanism for how the switch in the motor changes direction and how it transmits torque, enhancing our understanding of bacterial movement.
Complex II (CII) activity controls phenomena that require crosstalk between metabolism and signaling, including neurodegeneration, cancer metabolism, immune activation, and ischemia-reperfusion injury. CII activity can be regulated at the level of assembly, a process that leverages metastable assembly intermediates. The nature of these intermediates and how CII subunits transfer between metastable complexes remains unclear.
