Inborn errors of immunity (primary immunodeficiencies).

Primary immunodeficiencies (PID), now often referred to as inborn errors of immunity (IEI), are a large heterogeneous group of disorders that result from deficiencies in immune system development and/or function. IEIs can be broadly classified as disorders of adaptive immunity (e.g.

The Use of Classic Psychedelics for Depressive and Anxiety-Spectrum Disorders: A Comprehensive Review.

Following a decades-long decline in psychedelic research resulting from social, political, and legislative factors, there has been greatly renewed interest in these compounds' ability to treat psychiatric disorders. Classic psychedelics, encompassing both natural and synthetic psychoactive compounds, are characterized by their action as agonists or partial agonists of serotonin 5-hydroxytryptamine 2A receptors. In this comprehensive review, we summarize the latest clinical trials of classic psychedelics on depression and anxiety, attending to the patient demographics and methodology of each study.

The biogenesis and regulation of animal microRNAs.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, yet profoundly influential, non-coding RNAs that base-pair with mRNAs to induce RNA silencing. Although the basic principles of miRNA biogenesis and function have been established, recent breakthroughs have yielded important new insights into the molecular mechanisms of miRNA biogenesis. In this Review, we discuss the metazoan miRNA biogenesis pathway step-by-step, focusing on the key biogenesis machinery, including the Drosha-DGCR8 complex (Microprocessor), exportin-5, Dicer and Argonaute.

Ida B. Wells-Barnett as an anticolonial theorist on crime and punishment.

Treasuring the legacy of Ida B Wells-Barnett as a Black feminist is a vital liberatory commitment, as previous scholarship has commendably demonstrated. Equally important, however, is the need to present Wells-Barnett as an anticolonial theorist whose scholarly texts-Southern Horrors, A Red Record, and Crusade for Justice-should be incorporated into social theory curricula. This article examines Wells-Barnett's acute apprehension of the foundational structures of the US empire-state in her scholarly writings on lynching.

Association between automatic AI-based quantification of airway-occlusive mucus plugs and all-cause mortality in patients with COPD.

In this cohort study involving 9399 current and former smokers from the Genetic Epidemiology of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease study, we assessed the relationship between artificial intelligence-quantified mucus plugs on chest CTs and all-cause mortality. Our results revealed a significant positive association, particularly for those with COPD GOLD stages 1-4, with HRs of 1.18 for 1-2 mucus-obstructed bronchial segments and 1.
