Article Synopsis
- The study addresses treatment disparities for kidney failure between First Nations people (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander) and non-First Nations individuals in Australia, aiming to improve home-based treatment options.
- It involves a multicenter approach to collect data from health services, staff, and patients to understand the factors affecting health outcomes and service utilization.
- The research, funded by the National Health and Medical Research Council of Australia, has received multiple ethics approvals to ensure it meets ethical standards.
Filoviruses, including the Ebola and Marburg viruses, cause hemorrhagic fevers with up to 90% lethality. The viral nucleocapsid is assembled by polymerization of the nucleoprotein (NP) along the viral genome, together with the viral proteins VP24 and VP35. We employed cryo-electron tomography of cells transfected with viral proteins and infected with model Ebola virus to illuminate assembly intermediates, as well as a 9 Å map of the complete intracellular assembly.

Methods: Glasgow regional health records (2009-16) were obtained for adults with cardiovascular disease or taking loop diuretics.
Article Synopsis
- Health services want to understand how patients feel about their care, especially those who speak First Nations languages, to make improvements.
- Researchers worked with language experts and health staff to create surveys that are accurate and meaningful for these patients by translating and testing them.
- They found big challenges in translating survey questions because some English phrases don't mean the same in First Nations languages, and cultural differences also made it hard to ask questions in the right way.
Mitochondrial dysfunction is a characteristic trait of human and rodent obesity, insulin resistance and fatty liver disease. Here we show that high-fat diet (HFD) feeding causes mitochondrial fragmentation in inguinal white adipocytes from male mice, leading to reduced oxidative capacity by a process dependent on the small GTPase RalA. RalA expression and activity are increased in white adipocytes after HFD.
