Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), characterized by hyperglycemia and dyslipidemia, leads to nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR). NPDR is associated with blood-retina barrier disruption, plasma exudates, microvascular degeneration, elevated inflammatory cytokine levels, and monocyte (Mo) infiltration. Whether and how the diabetes-associated changes in plasma lipid and carbohydrate levels modify Mo differentiation remains unknown.

Article Synopsis
- Tourette syndrome primarily affects children and adolescents, yet its impact on their daily lives has not been thoroughly researched.

- Key findings indicated that tic severity worsened school challenges, comorbidities impacted social interactions, and younger patients expressed more negative feelings about their futures, with social stigma being a recurring theme.
The classical aortic ring model is well suited for deciphering pro-angiogenic processes. Here, we propose simple modifications of the standard protocol to study various anti-angiogenic processes from growth arrest to capillary degeneration. Aortic rings are cultured under basal conditions for 6 days to allow physiological vessel sprouting and then split into treatment groups to follow capillary growth or degeneration for an additional 2 days.
